Suwon announced on the 10th that it has established the 'Third Four-Year Community Social Welfare Plan for Suwon City' to implement social welfare policies tailored to the region's conditions and characteristics.

This community social welfare plan outlines key social welfare initiatives for Suwon over a four-year period from next year through 2018.

Under the vision of 'People-Centered Welfare City Suwon with Care, Consideration, and Sharing,' the plan comprises 11 core projects and 80 detailed initiatives under 5 major strategies including 'Expansion of Quality Jobs with Guaranteed Basic Living' and 'Expansion of Diverse Services Aligned with Health Care Needs.'

In line with recent trends toward universal welfare, the number of departments promoting detailed projects has expanded from 5 to 16, and the plan now includes areas such as human rights, safety, and multiculturalism to ensure comprehensive welfare improvements.

Additionally, Suwon plans to invest approximately 226.8 billion won over four years in implementing the 80 detailed projects, leading the development of community social welfare in the region.

Kim Ju-ho, head of the Department of Welfare and Women's Affairs, stated, "Suwon's community social welfare plan is recognized by other local governments as a model for benchmarking due to its public-private cooperation, planning, and implementation capabilities," and added, "Since this plan was prepared through reflecting local conditions and gathering public opinions, we will make active efforts to ensure the implementation of the welfare plan."
