The purpose of this study is to find out the sustainable and win-win ODA strategy based on analysis of difficulties and ODA improvement demands by the small and medium-sized enterprises in Bangladesh. Recently, ODA is pursuing in a way to accommodate not only recipient countries’ needs, especially economic growth, but also economic interest of the donors. In this context, an important consideration of assistance way is cooperation with private sectors. Therefore, this study analysed difficulties and ODA improvement demands of Bangladesh small and medium-sized enterprises including Korean enterprises in the country. Bangladesh is one of the top ten recipients of Korean ODA. This research surveyed 30 Korean companies in Bangladesh and 25 companies of Bangladesh located in Dhaka and Chittagong. Out of the 50 companies, 34 are manufacturing and construction companies and 26 are in service sector. A structured questionnaire, allowing multiple answers, is hired for this research. The responders were the company’s CEO or corporate key managers. According to the survey result, the most difficult areas of the enterprises were financial problem (22.7%), power supply (22.7%) and regulatory issues (18.2%). The highest demand for ODA support was a power supply (22.7%) followed by logistics (20.9%). The result of IPA (Importance-Performance Analysis) suggests that ODA to Bangladesh needs to improvement and supplement policies focusing on two important sectors, namely power supply and logistics. Because power supply sector is mentioned in both difficulties and ODA improvement demands, and logistics has the highest score among the improvement demands of the enterprises. One of the important findings of this study is that technology support is co-incided in difficulties as well as ODA improvement demands among Bangladesh small and medium-sized enterprises unlike the Korean companies in Bangladesh. Therefore, when Korea provides ODA to Bangladesh companies, technology support program needs to be considered as an important package. Even though this study has a critical point, due to the limited number of sample size, to comprehend difficulties and ODA improvement demands by Bangladesh small and medium-sized enterprises including Korean ones, it will certainly contribute towards win-win partnership of ODA between Korea and Bangladesh for sustainable cooperation.
