Project Planning Principles
The TaiwanICDF was established with an initial
endowment of NT$11.6 billion, which was the net
value of the IECDF’s funds at the time of its dissolu-
tion. Sources of funding include the general fund,
interest, returns on investments and income from
commissions by the government or other institutions.
As of December 31, 2014, the total balance of all
funds was NT$15.73 billion.
Respond to interna-
tional development
trends, draw on
Taiwan’s comparative
advantages.
Integrate public and
private sector
resources, and
strengthen cooperative
partnerships.
The TaiwanICDF’s main partners are governments,
international organizations or their designated
agencies, corporate bodies, and nongovernmental
organizations.
To ensure that our core strategies can be implemented with
tangible effect throughout the normal course of operations,
we have developed a set of project planning principles
designed to improve effectiveness and results by
standardizing the way we carry out our assistance projects.
