KOICA Fellowship Program, CIAT
Like its acronym that sounds like “seed”
in Korean, CIAT hopes to spread seeds
of hope across partner countries. CIAT
is a cooperation program where policy-
makers, public servants and experts
from developing countries are invited
for technical training and knowledge
sharing.
CIAT has established partnerships with
a multitude of public organizations,
research institutes, universities, and others
in Korea to offer quality training programs.
Such efforts have resulted in a high level
of satisfaction among participants. After
completion of the program, CIAT
participants play a significant role in
spreading Korea’s commitment and
goodwill towards their society.

around the world.

K-water manages half the national water supply facility capacity. In addition, we operate 20 multi-

the world as Korea's representative state-owned water managing company.

renowned examples of K-water's role in renewable energy.

In educational fields, K-water offers comprehensive learning programs for water management experts
