Nowon-gu, Public Call for Resident Participation Budget Proposal Projects

Small-Scale Local Benefit Projects and Neighborhood Wish Projects Open for Resident Proposals... Selected in August Through Resident Participation Budget Committee and Mobile Voting

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Nowon-gu (District Mayor Oh Seung-rok) is holding a contest for the '2020 Resident Participatory Budget Proposal Projects' to be reflected in next year's budget until the 30th of this month.

The Resident Participatory Budget System is a system where residents directly participate in the budget formulation process to enhance transparency and fairness in financial management.

The contest fields include small-scale local benefit projects and neighborhood wish projects needed in the area, with a total budget of 500 million KRW.

Applications can be made through each dong community meeting and the district office website. First, at the dong community meetings, after receiving project proposals, selecting projects, and collecting opinions from local residents, the selected projects are submitted to the district office.

General residents can submit project proposals through the Participation World section on the district website.

Applications can also be made by visiting the district office's Planning and Budget Division or the dong community center, by mail, or by fax.

Project selection will be conducted through a vote by the Resident Participatory Budget Committee (70%) and mobile voting (30%), and the final projects will be selected in August after going through this year's Resident Participatory Budget Committee.

The district plans to monitor overall matters such as budget execution performance, appropriateness of project implementation, and difficulties in project promotion for the selected projects.

Meanwhile, last year, the district selected 12 projects including the Everyone's Happiness Project enjoyed on the Gyeongchuncheon Forest Trail and Let's Go to Healing City Nowon Forest.

Oh Seung-rok, Mayor of Nowon-gu, said, "We will gather various opinions through the contest and carry out projects that residents truly need," and added, "We ask for the interest and participation of residents so that projects essential to the district can be proposed."
