  Objective of the Project	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.
  Expected Benefits from the Project	The partnership between developing nations and South Korea during potential U.S. aid uncertainties (2025-2029) offers a wide range of benefits aimed at sustainable development. Economically, countries gain financial stability through diversified funding and access to Korean industrial technology. Institutionally, they benefit from knowledge transfer of Korea's development experience and enhanced governance capabilities. The partnership also delivers social improvements through technical education and better public services, while strategically reducing aid dependency and fostering regional integration. Together, these benefits create a pathway to greater economic self-reliance and sustained growth for developing nations.
