Jongno-gu Announces Public Contest for Gender Equality Fund Support Projects

Call for '2020 Gender Equality Fund Support Projects' until the 15th... Aimed at spreading gender equality culture and creating women-friendly cities... Divided into open and designated competitions with a total support of 39 million KRW

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Jongno-gu (Mayor Kim Young-jong) is accepting applications for the '2020 Gender Equality Fund Support Project' under the theme 'Creating an Equal Daily Life Together, a Happy Women-Friendly City Jongno' until the 15th.

The district is promoting the Gender Equality Fund Support Project to realize a practical gender-equal society by expanding equal social participation of both genders and enhancing women's rights and welfare, discovering various projects.

The 2020 Gender Equality Fund Support Project call is divided into open applications and designated applications. The total support amount is 39 million KRW, with up to 7 million KRW per project for open applications and up to 5 million KRW per project for designated applications.

The open application targets non-profit corporations or private organizations located within the district, with four application fields: ▲ spreading gender equality culture ▲ women's safety ▲ promoting women's economic and social participation ▲ supporting work-family balance.

The designated application, open to groups of three or more Jongno-gu residents, calls for projects in the field of 'Gender Equality Community Activation,' which involves small-scale community activities on gender equality themes in areas such as care, safety, environmental improvement, communication, and women's capacity building. However, projects that receive subsidies from the state or other local governments with the same or similar content, one-time or exhibition-type events for simple social gatherings or group promotion, or projects lacking public interest are not eligible for support.

By expanding the support target to resident groups, the district expects to strengthen women's capacity for community activities and establish a foundation to activate gender equality activities in daily life through projects created and participated in directly by women.
