Administrative information should be easy to understand.
[ Why Is This Needed? ]
Public administrative information is closely connected to citizens’ everyday lives.
It includes welfare programs, subsidy guidance, civil complaint procedures, and policy announcements—
all of which influence important personal decisions.
Yet administrative documents are often written using legal and institutional terminology, complex vocabulary, and long, dense sentences.
As a result, citizens with low literacy levels, older adults, people with developmental disabilities, and multicultural families
may access the information but still struggle to fully understand it— leading them to give up on applications or misunderstand key details.
The moment public information feels difficult, administrative services become accessible only to a limited group.
Ongl was created to deliver administrative information in language that every citizen can understand.
[ How Is It Used? ]
Local governments and public institutions can provide Easy Read versions of civil service guides, policy explanations,
welfare and support program information through Ongl alongside existing documents.
For example, eligibility criteria and application requirements can be broken down into short, clear sentences,
while administrative terminology can be explained using everyday language.
Application procedures can also be organized step by step,
helping citizens clearly understand where to go and what to do.
By offering Ongl versions across multiple administrative channels—
including websites, printed guides, and online application portals—
citizens can choose the format that best matches their level of understanding.
→ Administrative information becomes not a “difficult document,”
but a practical guide that truly supports citizens.
