This paper aims at reviewing the performance of official development assistance(ODA) programs of Korean government towards Africa nations. Especially, as the foundation of performance survey results on the five Korean ministries(foreign affairs, finance, commerce, transpotation & construction, general affairs) which had implemented Africa ODA programs for lately 5 years, the overall evaluation and the better ways of Korean government's ODA programs on Africa could be suggested. First, it has to change the diverse and fragmented program governance and to intensify the institutional linkage and the function of control tower. Second, the nation-wide integrated ODA program should be planned on the umbrella of the prime ministry. Third, the participatory program planning & implementation system should be established including the government, NGO, enterprises, universities, international organizations. Fourth, the performance review system should be not only built integrally, but also the evaluation competence and accountability should be made sure. Fifth, the ODA size on Africa should be not only enlarged more, but also the ODA program efficiency should be bettered more. But, this research has some limitations. Above all, because the period of case programs are so short, it is difficult to evaluate generally and universally. And because the feature of this research is exploratory and basic, it must be supplemented by in-depth case studies in the future.
