No 25-12, World Economy Brief from Korea Institute for International Economic Policy

Abstract: This brief examines how evaluations are perceived and used in Korea’s international development cooperation, based on a stakeholder survey and comparative review of international practices. While ODA evaluations have become increasingly institutionalized, their actual use remains limited—often serving symbolic or compliance-related purposes rather than informing decisions or fostering learning. The survey reveals key barriers, including a lack of actionable recommendations, limited accessibility, and a mismatch between evaluation outputs and user needs. (the rest omitted)
