KATHMANDU, August 6: A total of 18 government officials from Nepal are traveling to South Korea this year to pursue Master’s Degree programs at various reputed Korean universities. 

The recipients of the Capacity Improvement and Advancement for Tomorrow (CIAT) program implemented by the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) since 1995 are tentatively scheduled to fly to Korea within this month, according to a press statement issued by the KOICA Office in Kathmandu.

In order to facilitate the 2021 group of Master’s Program, KOCIA and KOICA Alumni Association of Nepal (KAAN) on Friday organized a Networking Meeting on a virtual platform. The objectives of the virtual event was to share experiences and promote networking between KOICA scholars of 2020 and 2021 as well as provide all the needed information about their program, life in Korea, information about university and departure process, among other things. The recent returnees and KAAN members made a series of presentations to share the important information.

The program was attended by KOICA Country Director Sunghoon Ko. In his congratulatory remarks, Sunghoon shared the experience of the development of Korea and the important role of capacitated human resources and their role in nation building. He also hoped that the government officials will be able to contribute more to the development of Nepal as well as support in facilitating Nepal and Korea relations after the completion of the program.

Besides the long-term program, KOICA is also implementing short term fellowship programs as well. Due to the outbreak of COVID-19 this year, KOICA has opted to organize six different capacity building programs via virtual platforms.KOICA has been implementing the CIAT program as one of KOICA’s important development cooperation programs since 1995. This program  aims at leading human resources development (HRD) through short-term training and Master’s Degree Scholarship Program for government officials and providing capacity building training focusing on sharing Korea's experience and technology for development. Till date, more than 1,800 government officials in Nepal have taken part in some training programs in Korea under KOICA’s support.
