Sunchang County Holds Face-to-Face Consultations for 'Gender Impact Assessment Target Projects'

A Total of 20 Projects Targeted, Including Youth and Agriculture Initiatives

Sunchang County in North Jeolla Province held face-to-face consultations for each person in charge of the '2025 Gender Impact Assessment Target Projects' at the Youth Culture Center on April 29.

According to the county on April 30, this consultation targeted a total of 20 projects, including new initiatives, safety projects, and projects related to youth and agriculture. It was organized to review and improve the contents of project plans, the methods for preparing gender impact assessment reports, and measures to promote gender equality.

To this end, the county invited a certified professional consultant from the Jeonbuk Gender Impact Assessment Center and conducted one-on-one face-to-face sessions with project managers. Through this consultation, the county plans to preemptively review potential gender-discriminatory factors that may arise during project implementation and to establish practical improvement measures to address gender imbalances.

County Governor Choi Youngil stated, "I hope this consultation serves as an opportunity to enhance project managers' understanding of gender impact assessments," and added, "We will continue to actively conduct gender impact assessments of laws and major policies to eliminate gender-discriminatory factors and to do our utmost to achieve substantive gender equality."

Meanwhile, the gender impact assessment is a system that systematically analyzes and evaluates the impact of major policies?such as laws, plans, and projects?on gender and on social and economic disparities during their formulation and implementation, thereby contributing to policy improvement and the realization of gender equality.
