Through studying France, Austria, and Portugal's case, we realized that assistance enforcement integration brings in enhanced ability to enforce and synergy effect via improving cost-efficiency, preventing overlapping business, and combining similar ones. Hence, according to such finding, it seems advisable to reform Korea's ODA policy to a separatd policy and integrated implementation model. This seems to be the most feasible and segmentation problem solving measure considering Korea's ODA size, operating system, and characteristics of aid types.
