[Action Plan Description part 2]
To achieve maximum effectiveness, KOICA Training Programs aim to customize and maximize each partner country's training needs. KOICA incorporates and stresses both participatory and experiential training. We try to ensure that essential theory-based concepts do not overwhelm participation and practical application training. As such, KOICA has redesigned its Training Programs to incorporate more inter-activities and problem-solving scenarios in the training Programs. Thus, KOICA stresses the importance of the Action Plan as it provides our participants with the practical tools needed to implement policymaking alternatives and promote good governance. The Action Plan Session is designed to review, analyze, examine, evaluate, and determine the causes of the successes or failures of current policy initiatives throughout various sectors government, and provide the best policy alternatives and innovated systems.
As such, the Action Plan should provide practical, applicable, and feasible alternatives and solutions based on real situations. It is also suggested that participants explore the applicability of development experiences gained in the Program into the Action Plan on numerous policy initiatives. The Action Plan aims to prepare practical, specific, and creative public policy initiatives and alternatives in an effort to improve and bring innovation to proponents' current government's policy, system, and governance with a focus on target areas. In this light, the Action Plan is one of the crucial program activities to which KOICA gives top priority
2. Action Plan Building Session
We have arranged a three-hour Action Plan Building Session to provide participants with the opportunity to have more in-depth discussions on Action Plan topics in groups and prepare for a successful presentation.
3. Action Plan Presentation
In concluding the Program, we will hold a session for Action Plan presentations and open discussions. The groups are to draw up respective Action Plans in accordance with the Action Plan template provided. Each group will be given 15-20 minutes for the presentation of the Action Plan. The session will be joined by several Korean experts or practitioners who have extensive knowledge and experience in related areas, and they will serve as commentators and discussants.
It is our earnest desire that the Action Plan presented at KOICA will be adopted and implemented as policy initiatives and alternatives or innovation programs by the relevant government authorities of the participating country.
