Operations(2019)

Echoing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the TaiwanICDF strives to implement various foreign aid programs by taking into account both international assistance and the development needs of partner countries and regions. This year’s foreign aid efforts focused on two areas: (1) Assisting partner countries’ agricultural enterprises and small and medium enterprises and promoting ecotourism and green finance to help these countries upgrade their industries and environmental sustainability; (2) Promoting the empowerment of women worldwide by encouraging women’s participation in community and economic activities. After the completion of each program, the TaiwanICDF conducted a rigorous evaluation using scientific methods to assess the effectiveness of the program, and published the results in international forums or academic journals to heighten the international visibility of Taiwan’s foreign aid accomplishments.
