[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 13th that it received the Grand Prize in the 'Consumer Administration Category' at the '2020 Korea Consumer Awards' ceremony hosted by the Korea Consumer Association on the 11th.

This award is even more meaningful as it marks the third consecutive year of winning in the same category.

The 'Korea Consumer Awards,' which began in 2012, are presented by the Korea Consumer Association in the name of consumers to companies or administrative agencies that have contributed to enhancing consumer rights and improving consumers' quality of life.

In particular, the Consumer Administration Category selects recipients based on whether they have efficiently operated various programs for consumers, whether the importance, purpose, and role of consumer-related organizational functions are clear, and whether the institution properly understands the demand for consumer-related physical resources and has an appropriate environment including budget.

Wando-gun was evaluated for promoting trusted administration among residents by operating the 'Civil Complaint Satisfaction Call,' revitalizing the Ombudsman system, conducting integrity consulting led by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission, and organizing and operating the 'Jeonnam Fishing Village Market and County Heads Council' to resolve issues in fishing villages nationwide.

Additionally, to implement open administration and promote resident-centered administration, Wando-gun actively proposed amendments to reduce the burden on fishermen for aquaculture disaster insurance, operated a mobile governor's office for on-site communication, and formed and operated the 'Wando-gun Regional Development Win-Win Council' for communication and harmony.

Furthermore, Wando-gun was recognized for its contributions to improving residents' quality of life through various administrative efforts, including realizing a dense and reliable welfare safety net and making every effort to promote the marine healing industry, a future industry of Korea, earning the Grand Prize in the Consumer Administration Category for three consecutive years.

Shin Woo-cheol, Governor of Wando-gun, said, "Receiving the Grand Prize in the Korea Consumer Administration Category for three consecutive years is the result of everyone's efforts to enable our residents to live better lives," and added, "We will continue to strive to protect residents' rights and interests and to carry out administration trusted by the residents."
