2. Brief Introduction to Saemaul Undong

1. What is Saemaul Undong?
Saemaul Undong is a successful community development model started in 1970
in South Korea. At the beginning, Saemaul Undong had focused on poverty
eradication and living conditions improvement projects in rural areas of South Korea
in deep consideration of serious economical and social problems arising in the rural
areas over that time. Thanks to its success in the rural areas, the movement was
spread out across the nation to solve various social problems becoming a
nation-wide movement in South Korea.
 One of the success factors of the movement was making good governance
system between the public and private sectors for its efficient and effective
implementation. The bottom-up approach (village-driven development) successfully
encouraged the villagers to voluntarily participate in the movement. In fact, the
approach does not allow any kind of interruption from the government on the
peoples’ decision making process. In other words, it were the villagers who decided
through the general meeting what and how to do to solve their common problems.
We could achieve many achievements in various fields thanks to the unique
mechanism of Saemaul Undong. Now, international organizations such as the UN,
and UNESCO is recognizing Saemaul Undong as successful community development
experiences, which are adoptable to many countries that are currently in struggle
against poverty. In particular, in 2013, around 22,000 archives of Saemaul Undong
were listed as the Memory of the World Register by UNESCO, being recognized
its precious value as world heritage.
In this context, there are many countries that are expressing their strong
willingness to learn about and adopt the spirit and mechanism of Saemaul Undong.
Today, Korea Saemaul Undong Center is doing our best to share our success
experiences of Saemaul Undong, and we are also interested in devising the
customized Saemaul Undong in favorable of each country’s economical, social,
cultural, and religious characteristics in combination with the community
development policies in each country.
