Jeju Island, Revision of Comprehensive Subsidy Execution Guidelines for Promoting Community Sports

Increase Policy Acceptance by Providing Opportunities to Appeal Subsidy Support Amounts

[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Chang-won] Jeju Special Self-Governing Province announced on the 9th that it has revised the "Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Sports Council Comprehensive Subsidy Execution Guidelines" to efficiently operate the comprehensive subsidy system and enhance satisfaction with sports administration.

The comprehensive subsidy system aims to comprehensively coordinate subsidy projects and improve budget execution efficiency by unifying the subsidy support for sports organizations, which was previously dualized between the province and the provincial sports council, under the provincial sports council. The comprehensive subsidy execution guidelines were established, and the system has been in operation since 2021.

This revision of the guidelines includes clarifying the scope of comprehensive subsidy projects and establishing a new opportunity for sports organizations to submit opinions when determining subsidy support amounts.

The main contents improve transparency and efficiency by clearly defining the scope of comprehensive subsidy projects and the basis for supporting operating expenses.

To resolve the issue that sports organizations had no opportunity to submit opinions during the review process, such as objections when deciding subsidy support budgets at the project applicant selection stage, the execution guidelines were revised to notify sports organizations in advance of the review results on project plans and support budgets, allowing them to justify the necessity of the support budget, thereby increasing acceptance of the support budget.

Jeju Province plans to actively collect and reflect opinions on necessary system improvements for the stable establishment of the comprehensive subsidy system and institutionalize the budget allocation criteria in consultation with the provincial sports council within the year.

Oh Seong-yul, Director of the Jeju Province Culture, Sports and Education Bureau, said, "This revision of the execution guidelines is a measure to strengthen transparency and accountability centered on grassroots sports participants, and we will continue to strive to enhance trust in sports administration and satisfaction among sportspeople."
