On September 2015, UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) launched the Sustainable Development Goals 2030 (hereafter Post-2015 or SDGs), replacing the Millennium Development Goals 2015 (hereafter MDGs). The SDGs are international agreement that sets out a basic guideline for Official Development Assistance for next 15 years, until 2030. Republic of Korea’s (hereafter Korea) ODA policy regarding development of export industry to developing countries should be built around the basis of the SDGs fundamental belief. One of the most important limitations of the MDGs is that the development goals focus exceedingly on social development without considering natural course of social improvement that can be nduced through industrialization and economic development. Reflecting on the noted limitation, the SDGs include number of agendas, such as expanding developing countries’ participation in the international market, to build basis for economic and social change. Korea’s outward oriented economic development experience, first through export-driven economic growth, and thereafter through trade liberalization, is a well recognized example of how expansion of market openness can catalyze the process of economic growth and poverty eradication. Considering above implications, this study will review debates on the Post-2015 development agendas, and identify the correlation between Korea’s export industry promotion strategy and social development policy. Through the examination, this paper will suggest export industry promotion ODA strategy’s action plan. First of all, Chapter two aims to reevaluate the MDGs’ development goals, focusing on the trade policy. This section will also identify related goals and detailed agendas on the recently released SDGs in order to discuss export policy’s role and challenges in the Post-2015 era. Compared to the MDGs, the SDGs propose specific action plan on each agenda with consideration of linkages between international trade and social development. In terms of trade, in particular, the SDGs include wide-range of issues such as export-import promotion, expansion of FDIs, guarantee of foreign remittances and others. It is clear to note that the SDGs are notably improved plan than the former one. The third chapter examines the Korean development experiences  in regards to export promotion strategy and main social development policies, including human capital development, gender equality, income distribution, environmental problem, public health and medical treatment and others. Through analyzing the issues from each time period, this paper aims to explore the correlation between export industrialization and social development policies. Based on the findings, the correlation can be briefly summarized as following. Firstly, human resources development contributes greatly to the socio-economic development, creating effective synergy with export industrialization. Secondly, Korean government’s effort to eradicate poverty achieved the most remarkable output during the onset of export industrialization starting in the 1960s. This case study clearly indicates that economic development is an effective measure to eliminate poverty in the short term. In addition, the government made a gradual progress in the public health and medical sector, with proper investment and efforts to set foundations, to meet the growing social demand according to the increase in GDP. Thirdly, however, the correlation between export industrialization and income distribution is weak in nature because of historic context, type of export industry, and other social, economic and cultural factors, of each country. Thus, it is difficult to clearly identify the correlation and to derive implication for developing countries. Lastly, from Korea’s experience, the connection between export industrialization and general equality and environmental issues is insignificant or in fact, has reverse correlation. In terms of gender equality, although export industrialization at the early stage provided job opportunities for female workers, due to social and cultural issues (including socio-economic status or excess to resources), it had many constraints to contribute to the enhancement of gender equality. On the final chapter, based on the discussions above, this report will discuss about the basic guideline and strategy of the ODA policy specializing in export industry development. First and foremost, the ODA policy should work in harmony with fundamental principle of the SDGs. In order to achieve this, systematic and strategic understanding of correlation between export industry promotion and socio-economic development is needed. Also, donor countries should encourage their partner country to pursue integral approach, incorporating both social and economic policies, to promote export industrialization. Secondly, because export related agendas within the SDGs, in nature, are associated with multinational negotiations within the WTO, there are possibilities of disagreement between the development aid policy direction and export policy stance in the mist of meeting the SDGs. Thus, policy measures to minimize any possible conflict are required. Thirdly, the international community should highlight the importance of production capacity building of the Least Developed Countries (hereafter LDCs). In order to promote socio-economic development through international trade, the LDCs should focus on capacity building rather than taking passive actions for expanding market access. Recent expansion of Preferential Trading Agreement (PTA) presented the LDCs with another set of challenges even with export expansion preferential rules (dutyfree, quota-free market access) set by the SDGs. Therefore, Korea’s  ODA policy, focusing on the export industry promotion, should also emphasize the production capacity building program. As a final note, to further enhance the effectiveness of export and trade related ODAs, it is crucial to make efforts to main-stream Aid for Trade (hereafter AfT) within the overarching ODA policy. In particular, in accordance with fundamental emphasis of the SDGs, linkage between socio-economic development and trade issue should be established as a cross-cutting issue to be included in all mainstream ODA programs. In order to apply this, an operational guideline for AfT with a clear set of purpose, enforcement system, and management and evaluation system should be established
