In accordance with the Framework Act (Article 8.2.3) and the Strategic Plan, the Korean government formulated Country Partnership Strategies (CPS) for each priority partner country to maximize synergy effects and to improve ODA effectiveness through strategic concentration. The CPS includes ODA volume, priority areas, mid-term allocation plans and implementation strategies for each partner country based on Korea’s ODA strategy and the national development plans of the partner country. The implementation of country specific ODA will be successful if the CPS includes comprehensive understanding on the partner country’s diplomatic strategies and needs. The CPS is revised every three to five years for a better alignment with the national development plans of partner countries.

In 2015, the Korean government selected 24 priority partner countries out of 134 partner countries. Priority partner countries are composed of 11 Asian countries, 7 African countries, 4 in central and South American countries and 2 Middle East and CIS countries.
