Operations

With the post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) representing the issue of the moment in terms of

international cooperation and development, the TaiwanICDF not only continues to achieve results based around the

MDGs, but is also seeking to establish a new framework based upon the SDGs as the context for its next phase of

development. This will include projects promoting economic development, job security and good governance, and

global partnerships that promote “global public goods.” We are also developing several other operations designed

to reduce poverty, put an end to hunger, improve health and education systems, and safeguard environmental

sustainability, all in the hope of contributing toward human development.

As Taiwan’s specialist development

assistance organization, over many

years the TaiwanICDF has responded

to the needs of partner countries and

helped them in building capacity via

Taiwan’s comparative advantages,

implementing a range of operations

based around technical cooperation,

lending and investment, international

human resources, humanitarian

a s s i s t a n c e a n d o v e r s e a s

volunteering. As part of this process

we have gradually put the principles

of the Paris Declaration into practice,

including ownership and managing

for results, thereby enhancing aid

effectiveness and supporting the

pursuit of sustainable development.

The Ta i wan I CDF has a l so

undergone its own reforms in

accordance with the practices of

international organizations, and will

continue to pursue complementary

measures. Drawing on objective,

scientific analyses, we are also

better able to pinpoint and resolve

problems encountered during the

implementation of each project,

improving and enhancing our

organization’s operations.

Emphasizing the Supervision

And Appraisal of Projects,

Ensuring Project Quality and

Effectiveness

The TaiwanICDF takes both

financial and technical feasibility

into account when implementing

its projects. We first assess needs,

allocating resources on a results-

oriented basis, and, by following

the project cycle, begin with

project identification, preparation,

appraisal, approval, implementation,

completion and post-evaluation,

providing a solid basis for successful

results. We are striving to make every

project as cost effective as possible

by utilizing systematic considerations

and goal-oriented processes.

In terms of projects and funding,

total expenditures associated

with all TaiwanICDF projects in

2014 amounted to NT$1.73 billion

(including lending and investments

of NT$367 million, and technical

assistance and grants of NT$1.36

billion). The largest share of

expenditures was given over to

technical cooperation (73.3 percent,

or NT$1.27 billion), and then projects

funded by lending (10.8 percent,

or NT$186.1 million), investments

(10.4 percent, or NT$180.9 million)

and grants (5.5 percent, or NT$95.7

million).
