- Navigating Aid Dynamics: How Developing Nations Can Leverage Korean Partnership During U.S. Policy Shifts (2025-2029) In response to potential shifts in U.S. foreign aid policy during a second Trump administration (2025-2029), developing nations can strategically partner with South Korea to ensure sustained development progress. This initiative aims to leverage South Korea's unique development experience and technical expertise to build resilient aid mechanisms, enhance domestic capabilities, and foster economic self-reliance in developing countries. Through focused knowledge transfer, technology adoption, and institutional strengthening, the project seeks to create sustainable development pathways that reduce dependency on traditional aid sources while accelerating industrial growth, digital transformation, and innovation capacity. By establishing direct partnerships with Korean development agencies and emphasizing practical skill transfer, developing nations can maintain their development momentum regardless of changes in U.S. foreign policy, ultimately working toward greater economic independence and sustainable growth.
