This training course, an Official Development Assistance(ODA) program, is conducted in collaboration with local governments, aiming to enhance the administrative capabilities of officials from developing countries and foster more progressive relations between Korean local governments and their international exchange regions.

LOGODI tailored educational curriculum's centered around the theme of "Administration Innovation Cases and the Advancement of Digital Administration," focusing on three core sectors: ▲Excellent Local Government and Administration Innovation Cases, ▲Utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Digital Literacy in the Public Sector, and ▲Good Governance and Change Management.
