[Yeonggwang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jeonseong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 28th that it has been selected for the "Rural Social Economy Service Supply Infrastructure Project" organized by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.

This public contest selected nine cities and counties nationwide, including the county, and will receive 100 million KRW annually for three years from this year until 2024.

This project recruits activists in the social economy sector to contribute to the revitalization of the social economy through ▲ discovering demand for rural social economy services ▲ promoting the inflow of external human resources and organizing local communities ▲ discovering and incubating social economy organizations ▲ carrying out planning, promotion, and support activities related to the social economy.

The county plans to promote this project as an organization-linked type in collaboration with social economy organizations within the jurisdiction, and is expected to establish a social economy service foundation by conducting case management, education, and consulting through capacity building and organizational support for local residents.

A county official said, "We will do our best to nurture activists for the activation of the social economy within the jurisdiction, expand social services to vulnerable groups, provide jobs, and contribute to increasing residents' income, thereby revitalizing rural areas."
