Inclusive and Sustainable Rural Development: Saemaul Undong

1 For Sustainable and Inclusive Development

Saemaul Undong is an inspiration for development for people in rural and marginalized communities and people living in poverty and desperation. Saemaul Undong is targetingsustainable and inclusive development in line with SDGs such as education, women empowerment, human rights and climate change

2 By Spirit Saemaul Undong has a slogan which translates to “Can Do Spirit.” The guiding principles of Saemaul Undong “diligence, self-help and cooperation” not only encourage people’s voluntary participation and ownership, but also promote governance at the local, national and global levels. In order to formulate a development plan by way of village meetings, people’s sense of responsibility and ownership is strengthened

3 With Smartness In accordance with the 21th Century’s development environment, Saemaul Undong progresses by upgrading development strategies. SMU adopts the value chain model and supports producers not only at the input and production stage but also at the processing and market-ing stage. The application of appropriate technology and innovate technology that is most suitable and optimal for local environments can help increase income and boost the capacity of local communities. Working together with diverse partners, including international organizations, INGOs, businesses and banks, SMU will be adapted to many countries in smart ways

The rural development model, Saemaul Undong (New Village Movement), 45 years ago played a critical role in enabling Korea to eradicate poverty. Now we wish to share Korea’s development experience with a world that needs it. Since 70 percent of the world’s extreme poor live in rural areas, rural development will be essential to meet the SDGs. Saemaul Undong provides valuable lessons to achieving the SDGs

Better Life for All, with Global KOICA

KOICA (Korea International Cooperation Agency) is Korea’s development coopera-tion agency dedicated to enhancing prosperity through inclusive and sustainable growth. Founded on 1 April 1991 as a government bilateral agency responsible for implementing grants, KOICA manages its ODA programs through its country offices in 44 partner countries.

Inclusive and Sustainable Rural Development: Saemaul Undong

1 For Sustainable and Inclusive Development

Saemaul Undong is an inspiration for development for people in rural and marginalized communities and people living in poverty and desperation. Saemaul Undong is targetingsustainable and inclusive development in line with SDGs such as education, women empowerment, human rights and climate change

2 By Spirit Saemaul Undong has a slogan which translates to “Can Do Spirit.” The guiding principles of Saemaul Undong “diligence, self-help and cooperation” not only encourage people’s voluntary participation and ownership, but also promote governance at the local, national and global levels. In order to formulate a development plan by way of village meetings, people’s sense of responsibility and ownership is strengthened

3 With Smartness In accordance with the 21th Century’s development environment, Saemaul Undong progresses by upgrading development strategies. SMU adopts the value chain model and supports producers not only at the input and production stage but also at the processing and market-ing stage. The application of appropriate technology and innovate technology that is most suitable and optimal for local environments can help increase income and boost the capacity of local communities. Working together with diverse partners, including international organizations, INGOs, businesses and banks, SMU will be adapted to many countries in smart ways

The rural development model, Saemaul Undong (New Village Movement), 45 years ago played a critical role in enabling Korea to eradicate poverty. Now we wish to share Korea’s development experience with a world that needs it. Since 70 percent of the world’s extreme poor live in rural areas, rural development will be essential to meet the SDGs. Saemaul Undong provides valuable lessons to achieving the SDGs
