[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hong Jaehee] Gimje City, Jeonbuk, held a meeting of the Community Social Security Council, which is operated to enhance the efficiency of welfare administration and resident satisfaction.

On the 11th, the city announced that it held a monitoring and evaluation meeting of the Gimje City Community Social Security Council (co-chairman Choi Byeongcheol) to check and evaluate the progress of the community social security plan.

This meeting was held to conduct a mid-term review of whether the community social security plan properly reflects the needs of residents and to discuss problems and difficulties in the implementation process, with about 50 participants including private subcommittee members and officials in charge of each sector.

The community social security plan includes changes to become a central entity that directly establishes and operates community-centered plans, builds necessary networks and delivery systems, and performs functions such as discovering welfare blind spots and linking services.

Additionally, according to the revised "Framework Act on Social Security" in 2012, the concept of social services covering various welfare services such as health care, education, employment, and housing was introduced, encompassing income security and social services tailored to the universal and life-cycle characteristics of the people.

Song Seongyong, Director of the Resident Welfare Division, said, "To meet the diverse welfare needs of local residents, social security-related institutions, corporations, facilities, and organizations must all work together," adding, "Through public-private cooperation, a foundation should be established so that local welfare issues can be resolved by the community itself."
