[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Nam-gu, Gwangju (District Mayor Kim Byeong-nae) is promoting a public contest for the '2021 Resident Participation Budget Project' to guarantee resident participation in the budget formulation process and provide opportunities for residents to carry out projects necessary for their villages.


According to Nam-gu on the 14th, applications for the resident proposal contest project for the 2021 resident participation budget formulation will be accepted for three months from this month until June 30.


There are two project proposal categories.


They are local participatory projects to revitalize community-based village life and district government participatory projects to expand jobs and living SOC (Social Overhead Capital).


However, projects that violate laws and regulations, wasteful events, facility operating costs and duplicate projects, projects supporting specific organizations or for their benefit, etc., are excluded.


Also, projects with strong opposition from local residents are excluded.


Applications can be submitted by clicking the Information Disclosure menu on the Nam-gu Office website until the end of June, then submitting in the Resident Participation Budget section, or by filling out the application form available at the Dong Administrative Welfare Center and submitting it in person, by mail, or fax.


Nam-gu plans to finalize the 2021 resident participation budget projects around November by receiving resident proposals, reviewing them by the relevant departments from July, and deliberating through the Resident Participation Budget Committee.



A Nam-gu official said, “So far, our district has promoted projects based on resident proposals whenever inconveniences related to residents' daily lives occurred or when there were projects essential to the village. We will continue to do our best to promote related projects to establish grassroots democracy where residents are the true owners.”
