About Us
KOICA, established in 1991, is the government agency responsible for South Korea's foreign grant aid programs to promote friendship and mutual exchange with developing countries and contribute to international cooperation by supporting the economic and social development of partner countries. KOICA Myanmar Office in Yangon, opened in 2001, has been carrying out a number of projects focusing on regional development, public administration, transportation, and energy to achieve poverty eradication and prosperity for the people through inclusive growth of Myanmar. Moreover, we actively contribute to human resource exchange and knowledge sharing between South Korea and Myanmar by sending dozens of Myanmar government officials to Korea every year for invitational trainings, and dispatch human resource to volunteer programs and advisory groups.
