The Research on Non-Profit Organization and International Development Assistance--A Case Study of the Small Farmholders'' Financing Scheme of International Cooperation and Development Fund / 非營利組織與國際開發援助之研究─以財團法人國際合作發展基金會之海外小農貸款計畫為例

碩士 / 南華大學 / 非營利事業管理研究所 / 97 / In this world that poverty gap gradually becomes larger, poverty alleviation and assistance have turned into the mainstream value of international aid. As a semi-official organization which is subordinate to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, how does International Cooperation and Development Fund (ICDF) elaborate its function of poverty alleviation and assistance through overseas aid?
  
  Taking ICDF’s four representative works for example in respect of overseas small farmholder financing scheme, including Guava Pulp Processing Factory Project in Costa Rica, Rice Production and Rice Seed Production Project of Omar Torrijos Cooperative, Small Amount Agricultural Loan Project by Taiwan Technical Mission in the Republic of Belize, and Small Fishermen’s Financing Scheme in Panama, the manpower and technical supports as well as funds provided by Taiwan in these four projects have just manifested ICDF’s feature being a non-profit organization in the third sector. On the other hand, the author hopes to analyze difficulties that ICDF is now facing from the practical dimension of current diplomacy and political situation in Taiwan. Furthermore, suggestions will be proposed to result in positive effects that Taiwan develop diplomacy and strive for visibility through international aid, as well as how ICDF can more precisely elaborate its advantage as the third sector.
  
  By Documentary Research Method, Historical Research Method and Induction Method, this study discovers that although ICDF is constrained by the diplomatic strategy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as its foreign aid strategy to be influenced by domestic political alterations, yet under the support of national resources it can be exempted from the predicament of insufficient donation caused by economic recession which ordinary civil organizations often suffer, and therefore can elaborate the purpose of aid within its authorized power.
  
  Several research results are derived in this study as below:
1.It is the priority to demonstrate the excellence of Taiwan corresponding to the international situation.
2.The feature of being semi-official has constrained ICDF’s function as the third sector.
3.The difficult situation of ICDF is just the same as that of our diplomacy.
4.By developing international aid, ICDF seeks for opportunities to participate in international affairs.
  
For the further researches afterwards, some suggestions are made as below:
1.The practice and outcome of Taiwan overseas volunteers, ICDF.
2.The supervision and evaluation of business regarding international technical cooperation.
