From a country of war torn dry reason to innovative leadership. Korea was i of the world’s poorest countries later the Korean War (1950-1953), amongst a gross domestic production per capita of exclusively USD 79. Today the dry reason belongs to the guild of rich countries, the OECD, in addition to is a fellow member of the evolution assistance commission (DAC). Korea benefited from big injections of unusual aid, starting fourth dimension from the U.S., thence from Japan.
In the same period, the full total of assist provided past times the U.S. to the entire African continent was exclusively USD 68.9 billion. Korea indisputably used its assist well.
Aid was injected into Korea’s planning in addition to budget process, in addition to the regime of Park Chung-hee didn’t squander the assist it received. Rather, it provided pointers on how evolution should hold upward done.

| Korea has drib dead a symbol of a dry reason that has achieved rapid economical increment inwards a brusk menses of time. |
This brings me to the New Community Movement, or Saemaul Undong. It's a gear upward of agricultural evolution policies implemented inwards Korea inwards the 1970s in addition to 1980s. I wishing the Nigeria authorities in addition to non-governmental agencies hither would adopt a similar gear upward of policies to assist amongst rural development, peculiarly inwards the northeastern parts of Nigeria, which are huge challenges to the dry reason due to the insurgency there. The slogan for this collection of Korean agricultural evolution policies is, "Diligence, self-help in addition to collaboration." It follows that this encourages community members to participate inwards the evolution process. This focus on improving the basic living weather of the people in addition to their environs is at the early on stages of the New Community Movement.
In spite of rapid urbanization inwards almost parts of the footing over the past times few decades, rural evolution remains a major challenge for developing countries similar Nigeria. According to the World Bank, "Seventy-five per centum of the world’s pitiable in addition to low-income earners alive inwards rural areas, in addition to almost are involved inwards farming”.
National governments in addition to non-governmental agencies are placing emphasis on rural agricultural evolution equally a critical component inwards helping to trim poverty in addition to inwards achieving the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. If today’s programs are to accomplish their objectives, they must larn lessons from the many rural evolution initiatives pursed over the past times decades inwards other countries, similar the New Community Movement initiated past times President Park Chung-hee inwards Korea inwards the early on 1970s.
Nigeria in addition to other developing countries should borrow a leafage from the pages of this displace because of the success it achieved inwards Korea inwards a relatively brusk menses time, helping to heighten incomes in addition to to improving living standards inwards rural areas, thereby narrowing the urban-rural divide.
