Suncheon-si Recruiting Participating Organizations for Jeonnam Province Social Innovation Contest Project

Social Issues Discovered and Solved Directly by Citizens, Project Plans Accepted Until the 11th

[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] On the 4th, Suncheon City in Jeollanam-do announced that it is recruiting local communities and civil society organizations to participate in the ‘Jeonnam Province Social Innovation Contest Project,’ where citizens directly discover and solve local issues closely related to their lives.

The Social Innovation Contest Project is a program that supports citizens in discovering and solving complex and diverse local social problems on their own.

This year, Suncheon City plans to prioritize projects that can be expanded in the future and linked with other projects, while avoiding simple support and one-time projects.

In particular, the city plans to discover unique projects in Suncheon that can be carried out in connection with the ‘2023 Suncheonman International Garden Expo’ and develop them into a ‘Suncheon-type innovation model’ to strengthen the foundation for social innovation.

Organizations wishing to apply must submit an application form and a project plan by the 11th, either by visiting the Department of Autonomous Innovation or by email.

An official from the Department of Autonomous Innovation stated, “This year marks a meaningful year as the Local Autonomy Act has been fully revised and implemented for the first time in 32 years, ushering in the era of Autonomous Decentralization 2.0. We hope that through this Social Innovation Contest Project, residents will take the lead in making a new start, and we ask for the active interest and participation of all citizens.”

For more details, please check the announcement on the Suncheon City website or contact the Department of Autonomous Innovation for guidance.
