Gwanakcheong and Mobile Gwanakcheong, Online Gwanakcheong Recognized for Field-Centered Communication Administration...Highly Rated in Civil Service System Improvement Including Policies for Socially Vulnerable Groups

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Jun-hee) was selected as the best institution in the ‘2019 Civil Service Comprehensive Evaluation’ conducted jointly by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission, receiving a commendation from the Minister of the Interior and Safety.

This evaluation was conducted through a written survey of institutions and a public survey on civil service tasks handled over the past year, covering 19 indicators across 5 fields in 3 categories, targeting 304 institutions nationwide (central government, metropolitan and provincial offices of education, metropolitan cities and provinces, and local governments).

The district achieved generally high scores in all areas, receiving the highest ‘Grade A’ rating, along with an institutional commendation and securing a special grant of 50 million KRW.

Since the launch of the 7th local government, the district has consistently carried out moving and online Gwanak-cheong (聽) sessions every Thursday, where the mayor meets directly with residents to listen to their voices and find answers, earning high marks for this heartfelt administration.

Additionally, it received great praise for policies considerate of socially vulnerable groups, such as operating the ‘Happy Mama Restaurant,’ the nation’s largest and first program where village mothers prepare warm dinners and play with children on behalf of busy parents.

Mayor Park Jun-hee stated, “It is an honor that our efforts to focus on communication with residents and provide the best civil service administration have led to excellent results. We will continue to provide the best civil services that meet residents’ needs and expectations through various efforts to improve the quality of civil services.”
