implementing various cooperation
projects in our priority areas that
correspond to the regional strategies
of the aforementioned regions, the
TaiwanICDF also provides assistance
in other regions such as Central Asia,
Central Europe and Eastern Europe
in the form of co-financing with the
EBRD, to address transition problems
that occur during the region’s
economic development. For example,
the EBRD Financial Intermediary
and Private Enterprises Investment
Spec i a l Fund –Ag r i bus i ness
Account is designed to enhance the
productivity of agricultural sectors by
facilitating sustainable, long-term food
development in various countries of
Central and Eastern Europe, Central
Asia, and the Mediterranean coast.
Moreover, it is expected to strengthen
food supply capacity within the
regions by linking the upstream and
downstream industries through the
efficient operation of agribusinesses
to drive the overall development of
the food industry.
Given that human capital and
financial resources are important
pillars for developing countries’
economic growth, we also have
integrated various partner countries’
needs in promoting cross-sectorial
and inter-regional projects, including
our long-term workshops and
scholarship programs, Healthcare
Personnel Training Program and
Specialized Financial Intermediary
Development Fund, among others.
The objective of such projects is to
provide partner countries’ public
and private sectors with the human
capital capacity building and
financial services needed for their
development.
Furthermore, we have carried out
the long-term Overseas Volunteers
Service and Taiwan Youth Overseas
Service programs to offer young
people in Taiwan the opportunity to
broaden their international experience
and global vision, and to put national
human resources to good use and
promote civilian-based diplomacy.
