Changgi Lee, a Master in Public Administration/International Development student at the Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) spent summer 2014 interning at the World Bank. While there, he wrote an article on “Green and Sustainable Transport” and also developed a proposal-evaluation process for the Korea Green Growth Partnership. Within the World Bank, he worked under both the Transport Anchor and the Korea Green Growth Partnership Secretariat. Before coming to HKS to study international development, Lee worked in the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime affairs in South Korea for five years.
While at the World Bank, he helped build performance-evaluation criteria for the 23 awards made last year by the Korea Green Growth Partnership (KGGP) and developed grant-funding-request guidelines for second year’s awards. KGGP is the trust fund established by the Korean government to finance green growth projects in the urban, transport, and information and communications technology sectors.
Lee received financial support from the Harvard Environmental Economics Program for his internship.
