Abstract

Korean Abstract: 개도국의 성장동력으로서 무역의 중요성에 대한 국제적인 논의가 진전되면서 무역을 위한 원조(AfT: Aid for Trade)의 역할이 강조되어왔다. 2005년 WTO 홍콩각료회의에서 AfT 이니셔티브가 발족한 이래 국제사회는 개도국의 무역 활성화를 위한 인프라 제공 및 생산역량 강화 지원을 확대해 나가고 있다. 이 연구는 국제사회의 AfT 현황과 관련 논의를 파악하여 우리나라의 AfT 관련 정책 수립에 시사점을 제공하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 2012년 AfT 규모는 2002년에 비해 약 3배 증가한 38.7억 달러를 기록했는데, 이는 전 세계 ODA의 26%에 해당한다. AfT 규모가 지속적으로 증가하는 것은 긍정적인 현상이나, 글로벌경제 상황과 급변하는 무역환경을 고려할 때, AfT가 해결해야 하는 과제는 점차 확대되고 있다. 한편 AfT 이니셔티브가 출범한 지 10년이 되어가는 지금, AfT 성과 및 파급효과에 대한 국제사회의 관심이 고조되면서 AfT 모니터링 및 평가체계 구축 논의가 OECD 개발원조위원회(DAC: Development Assistance Committee)를 중심으로 가속화되고 있다. 우리나라는 무역을 통해 경제성장을 이룩한 국가로서 개도국의 무역 증진을 활발하게 지원해왔다. 2012년 기준 우리나라의 AfT 규모는 7.8억 달러로 DAC 회원국 중 8위를 차지하였다. 이는 우리나라의 총 ODA 규모가 DAC 회원국 중 16위를 차지하는 것과 대조적이다. (후략) English Abstract: As discussions on the importance of trade as a driver of growth and development of developing countries moved forward around the globe, the role of Aid for Trade (AfT) has been given renewed emphasis. Since the AfT Initiative was launched at the 6th WTO Ministerial Conference held in Hong Kong, December 2005, the international community has expanded its support and assistance for developing countries, to facilitate trade by providing proper infrastructure and build productive capacity. This study aims to provide policy implications for establishing policies or strategies regarding AfT based on analysis of recent trends and major issues in AfT. In 2012, the international community provided USD 3.87 billion in AfT, which represented an increase of approximately threefold compared to 2002 and this accounted for 26 percent of total ODA. While it is positive that the volume of AfT steadily increased, newly emerged priorities in AfT for donors and partner countries have been expanded, considering the rapidly changing trade environment. Furthermore, since the AfT initiative was launched 10 years ago, there have been increased concerns and attention on the part of the global community on the results and impact of AfT and thus OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) has led the discussion on establishment of monitoring and evaluation framework. Korea, which has achieved economic growth through active participation in international trade, has supported developing countries consistently to promote their trade. Case in point, Korea provided USD 780 million in support of AfT. Korea was 16th among DAC member countries in total ODA volume, but was 8th in volume of AfT. (The rest omitted)
