Introduction
Gyeongnam International Development Cooperation Center (GIDCC)
The Gyeongnam International Development Cooperation Center was established in December 2025 through the signing of a trilateral cooperation agreement between KOCIA, Changwon National University, and Gyeongsangnam-do.
The Gyeongnam International Development Cooperation Center conducts education on ODA (Official Development Assistance) for general citizens, public officials, businesspeople, and students, and holds business briefing sessions in which various institutions within Gyeongnam-do can participate. By doing so, it enhances understanding and interest in international development cooperation in the Gyeongsangnam-do region and contributes to achieving regional co-growth through participation in ODA projects.
“We hope Gyeongnam, the meeting point of passion and pure nature, flourishes through international development cooperation.”
