Types of International Cooperation - INI

Types of international cooperation include diverse forms such as Official Development Assistance (ODA), private cooperation through NGOs and NPOs, and international volunteer activities. ODA is classified into bilateral and multilateral assistance, consisting of three forms: grant aid, technical cooperation, and concessional loans. In the private sector, international cooperation NGOs conduct activities in development assistance, humanitarian aid, and advocacy, while at the individual level, there are volunteer dispatch systems such as JICA Overseas Cooperation Volunteers. These forms of cooperation work complementarily to address challenges in developing countries.
