20th Anniversary

2016 marks the 20th anniversary of the TaiwanICDF. To help fellow Taiwanese better understand Taiwan's efforts in international development cooperation, we hosted a series of events and activities, including the publication of the book “Thinking Big to Embrace the World – the Touching Stories of Taiwan,” the retrospective Exhibition of the Stories of Taiwan's Foreign Aid Endeavors, and the launch of a video in celebration of our anniversary. To commemorate this significant milestone of Taiwan's participation in international development assistance work, in this year's annual report, we have devoted the following pages to introducing the course of Taiwan's experience in foreign aid, the TaiwanICDF's core operations and noteworthy achievements, as well as contributions from people, schools and institutions from northern, central, southern and eastern Taiwan. Looking ahead to the next 20 years, the TaiwanICDF will continue to expand opportunities for Taiwan's involvement in international development assistance and share the core values and invaluable assets of Taiwan's experience. We will highlight Taiwan's efforts and participation in the global community, and contribute towards world peace, stability and prosperity.
