Yeonggwang-gun Holds '2021 Local Government Joint Evaluation Response Plan Meeting'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeon Seong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim Junsung) announced on the 18th that it recently held the ‘2021 (2020 performance) Local Government Joint Evaluation Response Plan Report Meeting’ chaired by Deputy Governor Hong Seokbong in the small conference room on the 2nd floor of the county office.

The joint evaluation of local governments is a system in which central government ministries jointly evaluate major national policy tasks carried out by local governments, conducted annually.

It can also be seen as the largest-scale evaluation in which all departments of the county and towns and townships cooperate directly or indirectly to respond.

In the 2018 performance evaluation, the county ranked 6th among 22 cities and counties in Jeollanam-do, was selected as an excellent city/county, and received various incentives such as project funds, rewards, and the governor’s commendation.

Having maintained a top-tier ranking over the past three years with good results, the county planned regular evaluation preparation report meetings with newly appointed Deputy Governor Hong Seokbong to leap to the top performance tier, and launched this signal with the holding of the response plan report meeting by evaluation indicators.

At this report meeting, 19 heads of departments responsible for indicators supplemented the insufficient parts from the previous year’s evaluation of 97 indicators in areas such as regulatory improvement, job creation, personnel administration, welfare expansion, regional economic management, activation of agriculture, livestock, and forestry, environmental protection, and health service support.

They also announced response plans to improve performance and proposed measures for anticipated problems, discussing evaluation promotion strategies with a markedly enthusiastic attitude compared to before.

Deputy Governor Hong Seokbong said, “Through this report meeting, we have taken the first step to be selected as the best city/county in Jeollanam-do in the 2021 local government joint evaluation,” and added, “Together with the heads, team leaders, and staff of the 19 departments, we will actively respond to the evaluation until the end of the year to achieve good results and enhance the county’s honor.”
