Greetings
On behalf of the government of the Republic of Korea and the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA),
I would like to extend my warmest welcome to you for visiting our website.
KOICA endeavours to combat poverty and support the sustainable socioeconomic growth of partner countries.
By doing so, KOICA establishes and strengthens friendly ties with developing countries.

In 2010, KOICA opened her country office in Kampala, and has been implementing various grant and technical cooperation projects in the field of Rural Development, Education, Health and so on.
So far, we have trained about 692 public officers in Korea under the short-term, long-term, Msc scholarship program, and In-country training program. Korea’s assistance to Uganda has mounted to more than 18 million USD and Uganda is one of the key partner countries in Africa.
I encourage you to take a look at our project page to see the various activities we are doing in Uganda for the socio-economic development of its citizens.

KOICA will continue to play an important role for the achievement of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) in its partner countries.
Thank You
