The TaiwanICDF has established the Taiwan International Cooperation Alliance (TICA), setting up an operational platform under this TICA framework to manage and improve the scholarship program. In 2026, there are 32 programs offered for TaiwanICDF Scholarship application.

The programs we offer are carefully tailored to meet the specific development needs of their partner countries, ensuring that each course provides practical and relevant knowledge. All training is conducted in English to enhance international communication and professional competence. Furthermore,
