About KOICA Scholarship Program
Just like its acronym that sounds like "seed" in Korean, CIAT (Capacity Improvement and Advancement for Tomorrow) aims to sow seeds of hope across KOICA's partner countries. CIAT is a cooperation program that invites policy-makers, public servants, and experts from KOICA's partner countries to Korea for technical training and knowledge sharing. It has established partnerships with numerous public organizations, research institutes, universities, and other institutions in Korea to provide high-quality training programs. In particular, CIAT Scholarship Programs offer various supports to talented government officials from partner countries who wish to study and obtain a graduate degree in Korea. These efforts have resulted in a high level of satisfaction among participants. Upon returning to their home countries, CIAT participants contribute not only to their own societies but also strengthen the bilateral partnership between Korea and their respective partner countries.
