<p>Since 2004, the Ministry of Strategy and Finance (MOSF) of Korea has conducted the Knowledge Sharing Program (KSP) projects for selected development parthership countries. The purpose of KSP is basically demand-driven and performance-oriented comprehensive consultation, by sharing specific knowledge and experience during the rapid Korean economic development. The projects are administered by the Office for Development Cooperation (ODECO) at Korea Development Institute (KDI). MOSF and ODECO launched the KSP for Ukraine in January 2008. The first visit to Ukraine in July 2008 was conducted by a group of consultants, headed by H.E. Jong Chan Choi (Former Minister of Construction and Transportation), in order to explore the demand for the project from the Ukrainian perspective. After an intensive demand survey, 4 topics were identified. These topics were then finalized as the main consultation topics when the Korean consultants visited Kiev for the Pilot Study in August 2008, headed by H.E. Okyu Kwon (Former Depty Prime Minister).</p>
