Abstract

ABSTRACT The multi-bi aid from donor governments has been increasing due to its unique attributes. It allows the donors to control their aid spending and potentially influence the multilateral activities. Of the current members of the Development Assistance Committee, this study focuses on Korea and its multi-bi contribution to the World Food Programme (WFP). The contribution portfolio of Korea is analyzed and compared with that of France. The two countries are comparable for their similar size of the total contribution to WFP during the study period. This analysis observes differences in Korean and French approaches to their WFP multi-bi and the results indicate Korea spread its multi-bi across various aid types, sectors and regions through a multi-agency implementing channel. Korea showed little preferential aid towards its bilateral priority countries with its WFP multi-bi. On the other hand, France focused on a specific aid type, sector, and region through a unified implementing channel. France indicated its preference towards its bilateral priority countries with its WFP multi-bi. Given the current contribution size, Korea can be more efficient with its WFP multi-bi by prioritizing aid types, sectors and regions and unifying its implementing channel.

对韩国和法国世界粮食计划署捐款的组合分析:侧重于韩国的多重援助

摘要捐助国政府的多双边援助因其独特的特点而不断增加。它允许捐助者控制其援助支出，并可能影响多边活动。在发展援助委员会现任成员中，本研究侧重于韩国及其对世界粮食计划署（粮食计划署）的多双边贡献。分析了韩国的贡献组合，并与法国的贡献组合进行了比较。在研究期间，这两个国家对粮食计划署的捐款总额相似，具有可比性。这项分析观察到韩国和法国对粮食计划署多双边援助的做法存在差异，结果表明，韩国通过多机构执行渠道将其多双边援助扩展到各种援助类型、部门和地区。韩国对其与世界粮食计划署的多双边合作伙伴的双边优先国家几乎没有给予优惠援助。另一方面，法国通过统一的实施渠道，重点关注特定的援助类型、部门和地区。法国表示，它倾向于与粮食计划署的多边双边合作伙伴建立双边优先国家关系。鉴于目前的捐款规模，韩国可以通过优先考虑援助类型、部门和地区并统一其执行渠道，提高粮食计划署多双边援助的效率。

期刊介绍： Development Studies Research ( DSR) is a Routledge journal dedicated to furthering debates in development studies. The journal provides a valuable platform for academics and practitioners to present their research on development issues to as broad an audience as possible. All DSR papers are published Open Access. This ensures that anyone, anywhere can engage with the valuable work being carried out by the myriad of academics and practitioners engaged in development research. The readership of DSR demonstrates that our goal of reaching as broad an audience as possible is being achieved. Papers are accessed by over 140 countries, some reaching over 9,000 downloads. The importance of the journal to impact is thus critical and the significance of OA to development researchers, exponential. Since its 2014 launch, the journal has examined numerous development issues from across the globe, including indigenous struggles, aid effectiveness, small-scale farming for poverty reduction, sustainable entrepreneurship, agricultural development, climate risk and the ‘resource curse’. Every paper published in DSR is an emblem of scientific rigour, having been reviewed first by members of an esteemed Editorial Board, and then by expert academics in a rigorous review process. Every paper, from the one examining a post-Millennium Development Goals environment by one of its architects (see Vandermortele 2014), to ones using established academic theory to understand development-imposed change (see Heeks and Stanforth 2015), and the more policy-oriented papers that contribute valuable recommendations to policy-makers and practitioners (see DSR Editor’s Choice: Policy), reaches a multidisciplinary audience.
