Core Strategies
Based on our vision, we are focusing on the
substantive results of aid and striving to enhance
the integration of resources between the public and
private sectors, as well as strengthen various forms of
cooperative partnerships.
To achieve the objectives discussed above, we are
basing our work on two core strategies.
Utilizing Taiwan’s comparative advantages to
respond to the demands of partner countries:
To
maximize the impact of our projects we are putting the
principle of ownership into practice. Partner countries will
play the leading role in our projects, determining their own
list of priorities for development. We will actively respond
to the demands of partner countries and assist them to
plan projects and programs.
Furthermore, the investments we are making in aid
resources follow the principle of alignment and allow
partner countries to allocate resources based on their
own regulations and administrative systems. We will
allow partner countries to adopt their own procurement
and financial management systems and avoid setting
up any project teams which would duplicate the roles
and work of existing institutions in host countries. The
aim of this approach is to effectively build capacity and
achieve sustainable development by fully involving partner
countries as the leaders and implementers of projects.
Integrating resources from the public and private
sectors and strengthening cooperative partnerships:
We will encourage partner countries to take the lead in aid
projects and coordinate the resources of multiple sectors
as part of cooperative project efforts. Falling under the
principle of alignment, this setup will effectively reduce
waste in resources due to a lack of coordination among
donors. We will also actively seek third-party partners to
bring in diversified perspectives and different partnership
models, introducing dynamic, new forces that encourage
further growth and development.
In summary, we will actively integrate and coordinate
