Mr Hoon who inspected the construction sites for a nursing housing unit, and a community hall, confessed that Zambia, interms of programme execution is incomparable to other African countries that are equally implementing the Saemaul Undong project.
“The levels of monitoring and supervision are very good and encouraging”he said, and hailed the Zambian Government for showing good political will to see people’s lives transformed.
“In South Korea we have a saying that says that, how well you start your work or project, gets you halfway done”, he said and encouraged communities to remain committed to the project.
Mr Hoon further assured that the project may be extended to other parts of the country, depending on how the pilot will perform in the four villages namely Shakulya, Mwachiyaba, Nanduba and Nansenga.
He said his expectations are very high and wants to see people’s lives transformed for the better through continued collaboration and engagement.
Meanwhile, Director for Community Development, Ms.Patricia Muyamwa, said having the Saemaul Undong president in the country to personally inspect the projects is a good morale booster for the communities.
She said the Saemaul Undong journey so far has been fufiling and the collaboration between Zambia and South Korea has been life changing.
She said what is more encouraging is that South Korea development status was similar with that of Zambia, which means that a lot of lessons can be learnt on how Zambia can also tap into the development concept of South Korea in order to end vulnerability in communities.
