expected achievements. Through our project management
system we can analyze the major factors that may affect
the success of projects, and take further steps to identify
possible means of maximizing outputs and minimizing
inputs. The overall goal is to raise the efficiency of
implementation across the board and to achieve maximum
effectiveness with limited resources.
Duplicating successful experiences:
As Taiwan’s
dedicated foreign aid agency, we have amassed a rich
pool of experience and know-how, and have actively
applied this expertise in the planning of new projects. In
recent years, we have quickly and effectively consolidated
our experiences through a feedback system, duplicating
successful project experiences in regions or countries
encountering similar problems. This has helped project
teams to effectively multiply the effects of knowledge and
human resources and reduce costs associated with the
project design process.
Coordinating the use of TaiwanICDF resources:
Currently, major international aid organizations perform aid
work mainly through lending and investment, and technical
cooperation. Funding, technology and human resources
are the three most important factors in the integrated
process of development. The division of labor at the
TaiwanICDF is regulated by a well-planned system, which
effectively advances our efforts in funding allocation,
technical cooperation and human resources training.
With all of our departments working in accordance with
project-oriented principles, and supporting and mutually
reinforcing one another’s operations, we are successfully
consolidating existing tools and resources and maximizing
the scope and effectiveness of our aid projects.
Teams take part in an internal training exercise
and debate focusing on a project case study.
Courses and training events are regularly
organized for the benefit of personnel so that
the TaiwanICDF can become a more project-
oriented organization.
