This paper studies the determining factors of Korean ODA allocated by KOICA and EDCF during the last two decades. Empirical research is conducted with eight variables from economic, politico-strategic, cultural/interactive, and humanitarian categories in order to show what factors have influenced Korea’s aid allocation and selection of primary partner countries of grants and loans respectively. The results indicate that the allocation of grants has not been influenced by a single dominant factor but by all four categories, while the loan aspect has been influenced in large part by economic motivation. This research also uncovers the underlying factors for being selected as primary partner countries of both KOICA and EDCF. It finds that there is no single outstanding factor influencing the selection of primary partner countries for the grant again and it is noteworthy that there is no variable from the humanitarian category which has an impact on determining primary partners for the grant. On the other hand, when it comes to primary partners for the loan, all humanitarian factors do not contribute to selecting the partners in a positive way. The countries with a higher Human Development Index (HDI), lower Political Rights Index (PRI), and higher GNI per capita are more likely to be selected as primary partners. Among other categories, only cultural and interactive ones, number of visitors has a strong correlation. As a result, we are unable to validate the two hypotheses built in this paper that humanitarian factors have been more likely to play a prominent role in both allocating and selecting primary partner countries for grants.
