[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province is accepting resident proposal projects to be reflected in the 2024 budget until April 14.

The province classifies resident proposal projects into three types: ▲ 'Provincial Participation Type' for projects under provincial jurisdiction or those implemented across two or more cities/counties, ▲ 'Regional Support Type' for projects requiring provincial support to solve regional issues or pilot projects led by other cities/counties, and ▲ 'Public-Private Cooperation Type' for projects proposed by nonprofit private organizations or nonprofit corporations located in Gyeonggi Province. It announced on the 12th that it plans to allocate up to 50 billion KRW for the 2024 resident participation budget accordingly.

The province plans to reflect the submitted resident proposal projects in the budget after going through project deliberation, project concretization, review by the Resident Participation Budget Committee, and online resident voting, followed by deliberation by the Gyeonggi Provincial Council.

Project deliberation is a procedure to ensure that resident proposal projects are not neglected and are reflected in the budget as much as possible.

Any resident wishing to propose a project can participate. The province will draw 100 people from among the proposers and provide them with mobile gift certificates worth about 10,000 KRW. In addition, outstanding proposers will be awarded the Governor's Commendation through evaluation.

Detailed information related to resident participation budget project proposals can be found on the Gyeonggi Province website or the Gyeonggi Province Resident Participation Budget website.

In 2022, the province received 537 resident participation budget project proposals and reflected 60 projects, including 'Installation of LED streetlights on local roads' and 'Learning support for out-of-school youth,' totaling 22 billion KRW in this year's budget.
