This research identified the cases of KOICA scholarship program currently operated by Pukyong National University and analyzed its effect and performance idicators through participation research methods and literature studies. An case analysis of KOICA's scholarship program showed that it had a positive effect on improving individual competency, but the training process was not always linked to positive results because various factors such as the trainee's current application and the cultural and social characteristics of the organization and country to which the trainee belongs, but also the effect derived in developing countries can be involved. There are several problems with performance indicators set by KOICA to manage the performance of the scholarship program. First, focusing on quantitative assessments, makes it difficult to identify the outcomes that cannot be quantified such as trainees’ personal competency. The second is simplifying assessment factors, excluding various factors that may intervene in the process of performance exposure, such as economic and social situations, culture, and organizational culture by country. Third, the long-term tracking system after the graduation is not established as an indicator. In order to improve this problem, it is necessary to expand the scope of the survey to colleagues and direct supervisors within the organization to track the trainee's performance in the long term and assess the trainee's competence and influence on the organization. Moreover, the indicators should be diversified considering various situation in developing countires. The government should improve its understanding of the performance development process and seek ways to continue the development of the training project.
