This organisation may not be a traditional think tank. We have included it in this list as we deem it to be a 'boundary' organisation – in other words, it might have some qualities or characterstics of a think tank.

Korea World Vision is a member of International World Vision (London, UK) which is a global NGO that practices God’s love to make the world’s most vulnerable children, families, and communities free from poverty and inequality and makes suitable changes with all partners. It is a professional aid development agency based on Christian spirit, respecting other religions, and does not work on the premise of conversion. World Vision works with a variety of religious leaders around the world and works without discrimination against religion, society, culture, and gender. In Korea, the World Vision was established following the Korean war and eventually helped transformed the country from a receiving nation to becoming a donor.
