[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Myeong Hyun-gwan) announced on the 8th that 20 locations were selected for the 2021 Jeollanam-do Village Community Activity Support Contest.

Starting with 5 seed locations in May 2017, the village community activity support project has been continuously expanded, resulting in the Yeonho Village community in Hwangsan-myeon being selected for the fruit stage for the first time this year.

The village community activity support project is being promoted to create self-reliant village communities by revitalizing villages through the process of village residents solving problems within the village themselves.

The participating village communities grow through the seed, sprout, and fruit stages. Seed clubs (5-9 people) receive 2.5 million won, seed villages (10 or more people) receive 5 million won, sprouts (10 or more people) receive 8 million won, and fruits (10 or more people) receive 20 million won in support.

As the number of communities participating in the village community project increases, the county plans to implement the ‘Haenam-type Village Community Activity Support Project’ on its own and will secure the second supplementary budget to select recipients.

A county official stated, “The goal of village community activities is for residents to find joy through participation and to make the village more vibrant,” and added, “We will actively support each growth stage so that many villages can sprout from seeds and harvest fruits.”
