[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Yeongam-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 6th that it was selected as an excellent institution for two consecutive years by receiving the Excellence Award among 22 cities and counties in the province in the 2021 Regional Autonomous Social Service Investment Project Performance Evaluation conducted by Jeollanam-do.

This performance evaluation comprehensively assessed three projects including the Regional Community Service Investment Project conducted by Jeollanam-do. In particular, Yeongam-gun achieved excellent results in the Regional Community Service Investment Project category, receiving the Excellence Award in this comprehensive evaluation and securing an additional 30 million KRW in project funds for the next year.

A county official stated, “Although the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic shifted to daily recovery by organizations, there were difficulties in implementation as facilities such as senior centers, the service provision locations, were closed due to a rapid increase in confirmed cases. However, due to the high demand for services among the elderly and our prompt response compared to other cities and counties by relaxing standard information, we were able to achieve good results. We will continue to strive to ensure that the elderly can safely and satisfactorily use the services.”

Meanwhile, Yeongam-gun’s social services have been established as an indispensable project with high public response, as a result of continuous efforts to develop customized social services tailored to the needs of residents and to provide high-quality services through constant education and monitoring of service providers.
