Pohang City Holds Launch Ceremony for 'Village Welfare Plan Promotion Team' ... Participation of Jukdo-dong and Jungang-dong Residents

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Pohang City held an inauguration ceremony for the 'Village Welfare Plan Promotion Team,' led by village residents, in collaboration with the Neighborly Welfare Center over two days on the 10th and 11th.

The Village Welfare Plan Promotion Team consists of 20 residents each from Jukdo-dong and Jungang-dong, ranging in age from their 20s to 70s and representing various occupations. They will take the lead in planning and implementing key agendas related to village welfare, care, safety, and the environment.

Starting with this inauguration ceremony, Pohang City will conduct education and meetings over five weeks to enhance their capabilities, and plans to hold a vision proclamation ceremony in April.

Han Sang-ho, Head of the Resident Welfare Division, stated, "The importance and significance lie in the fact that the village welfare plan is planned by residents themselves at the closest level." He added, "Starting with this inauguration, we will strive to encourage more local residents to participate."

Meanwhile, the Pohang Neighborly Welfare Center, a pilot project of Gyeongbuk Province, has been operated since December 2019 as a consortium of three organizations: Pohang City, the Pohang City Community Security Council, and the Pohang General Social Welfare Center, serving as a resident community gathering.
