Gwangju Nam-gu '2023 Resident Participation Budget Proposal Project' Contest

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, is conducting a public contest for next year's resident participatory budget proposal projects to guarantee residents' opportunities to participate in the budget allocation process and to promote projects necessary for the village led by residents.

According to Nam-gu on the 10th, the 2023 resident participatory budget proposal project contest will be held for two months from this month until May 31.

This is to reflect the projects desired by neighborhood residents and ideas suitable for the local characteristics in the district administration.

The scale of next year's resident participatory budget proposal projects is about 1.1 billion KRW in total, including 600 million KRW for district administration participation budget and 500 million KRW for regional participation budget.

The district administration participation contest field is for the promotion of residents' welfare and must be a project that includes the entire Nam-gu area or two or more neighborhoods. Any Nam-gu resident can propose.

The regional participation contest is mainly for neighborhood-level local issues and collaborative projects among multiple neighborhoods, and proposals can only be made by the resident participatory budget neighborhood meetings established in the 17 neighborhoods within the district.

However, projects violating laws and regulations, wasteful events, facility operation cost projects, projects supporting specific organizations or for profit, one-time performances, and mural projects are excluded from the proposal targets in both fields.

Nam-gu plans to receive resident proposal projects until the end of May, then select the final projects around August through review and supplementation by relevant departments, deliberation by the subcommittee, resident voting, and review by the resident participatory budget committee.
