TaiwanICDF International Higher Education Scholarship Programs 2010

In the hopes of sharing Taiwan’s prosperity and economic experience with the rest of the world, the International Economic Cooperation Development Fund (IECDF) was established in October 1989 under the supervision of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Soon thereafter, the IECDF was given the responsibility for providing various types of economic and social assistance to friendly and diplomatically allied developing nations.

As the variety of cooperative development projects expanded yet further, and the number of overseas technical missions increased, Taiwan’s government consolidated the CITC and the IECDF into an independent organization in 1996 and 1997: the International Cooperation and Development Fund (TaiwanICDF).
