The Challenges of Korean Development NGOs : Constraints and Opportunities

국문 초록 (Abstract)

이 글은 한국의 개발NGO의 역사적 발전과 현재의 상황을 분석하여, 한국개발 NGO의 한계와 기회를 파악하고자 한다. 그동안 국제사회에서는 정부나 정부기관에 의해 행해지는 공적개발원조(ODA)사업에 주된 관심이 모아졌지만, 1980년대에 이르러 NGO가 개발주체로 인식되면서 이들의 사업이 주목을 받게 되었다. 또한 지난 20여 년간 NGO의 개발원조 활동은 긴급구호와 다른 개발 사업영역에서 괄목할만한 성장을 이루었고, 한국의 경우에도 NGO의 중요성이 높아지고 있다.
이에 본 연구는 한국의 개발NGO의 역사적 발전과 현재의 상황을 분석하기 위하여 한국의 개발NGO의 특징을 살펴보고자 한다. 즉, 수원국에서 공여국으로 변모한 한국의 특수한 역사적 배경아래, 개발NGO의 역사적 발전과 이들의 종류, 사업 규모와 내용을 알아본다. 그리고 한국의 대외 무상원조를 담당하는 KOICA(국제개발협력단)과의 관계를 파악한다. 이로써, 이들이 국제개발협력 무대에서 하나의 개발주체로서 활약하기 위한 방안을 모색한다.

This paper will explore the constraints and opportunities of Korean development NGOs by analyzing their historical paths and new challenges.
Until now, the research on foreign aid and its effectiveness has overwhelmingly focused on 'official development assistance (ODA)', which is provided by governments and inter-governmental agencies. From 1980s, however, donor organizations began to formally recognize NGOs as development actors. The aid programs initiated by development NGOs for emergencies and better lives of needed people have expanded rapidly over the last 20 years, which has drawn more attention of international society than ever before. The Korean society has witnessed the surge of development NGOs and their activities as well.
This paper aims to analyze the historical development and the current challenges of Korean development NGOs. It will examine historical development, types of Korean development NGOs, their sizes and features, and development cooperation with KOICA. In doing so, this paper will attempt to recommend the ways to empower Korean development NGOs and enhance the effectiveness of their services.
