KRIHS runs various programs intended to reduce the knowledge gap between developed and developing countries, contributing to co-prosperity of the global village. As a part of these efforts, the GDPC has been inviting officials from developing countries to share Korea’s experience and expertise accumulated during the nation’s economic, regional, and territorial development. The primary goal of these programs is to help nurture talent in developing countries who will meet the needs of their home country. Programs operated by the GDPC include the National Territory and Regional Development Policy Course, the Urban Management Policy Course, etc. Many of them are jointly operated with international organizations such as WB, IDB, and ADB.
