Goseong-gun Receives Minister of Gender Equality and Family Award for Excellence in Youth Policy Evaluation

Three Consecutive Years of Award Success, the Only Military Unit in Gyeongnam

Goseong-gun, Gyeongnam Province, announced on the 20th that it was selected as an excellent institution nationwide in the youth policy evaluation at the ‘2023 Youth Policy Excellent Local Government Government Awards Ceremony’ held at the Bankers Hall in Jung-gu, Seoul, hosted by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, and received the Minister of Gender Equality and Family Award, marking the honor of winning in the same field for three consecutive years.

Goseong County won the Excellent Local Government Award for Youth Policy for three consecutive years in 2023.

The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family conducts an annual ‘Youth Policy Analysis and Evaluation’ targeting 17 cities and provinces and 228 cities, counties, and districts nationwide to enhance the capabilities of local governments in youth policy and to activate youth policies.

Excellent local governments were selected based on a comprehensive evaluation of document screening and Q&A on overall youth policy and efforts to support out-of-school youth.

Goseong-gun was the only excellent local government selected among the military regions in Gyeongnam, and it is highly significant as it was awarded the Presidential Award in 2021 and the Minister of Gender Equality and Family Award in 2022 and 2023, being selected as an excellent local government for three consecutive years.

Goseong-gun received high scores in the policy evaluation by ▲ extending the Youth Dream Voucher project, the first universal youth allowance project nationwide ▲ expanding youth-led activities and policy participation programs through youth training facilities (Goseong-gun Youth Center ‘On’, Dongbu Youth Center, Hai Youth Center) ▲ strengthening the protection support system for at-risk youth through the establishment of a youth safety net.

Mayor Sang-geun Lee said, “I am pleased that our efforts for youth policy have borne good fruit,” and added, “We will continue to create an environment where youth can grow up safely and healthily and strive to make Goseong-gun youth the leaders of the future through policies for youth.”
