First, the Chungnam Foreign Residents Integrated Support Call Center evaluated basic counseling functions such as interpretation and translation services to resolve inconveniences in the lives of foreign residents, provision of living information, linkage to institutions necessary for administrative procedures and daily life of foreign residents, and the status of support for immigration and stay.

Next, the Asan City Youth Culture House evaluated the current status of operation of various educational and experience programs utilizing youth’s after-school time and suggested areas for improvement in community-linked projects for youth’s participation and growth in the community.

Kang Won-hyuk, chairman of the Youth, Women and Family Subcommittee of the Citizens’ Evaluation Group, who is in charge of this evaluation, said, “This evaluation is an opportunity for residents to participate directly to identify problems in policy implementation and seek ways to improve.” “The evaluation team will work together to create a foundation so that we can strengthen and promote citizen-centered policies,” he said.
