Yoo Dong-gyun, Mayor of Mapo-gu, Receives 'Highest Grade' in Manifesto Pledge Implementation Evaluation

Evaluation Results of Five Areas Including Pledge Fulfillment, Resident Communication, and Pledge Consistency: Highest Grade (SA)

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Mapo-gu (Mayor Yoo Dong-gyun) received the highest grade (SA) in the evaluation of the fulfillment and information disclosure of campaign pledges by local government heads nationwide during the 7th local election, conducted over approximately 120 days by the Korea Manifesto Practice Headquarters (hereafter Manifesto Headquarters).

This evaluation assessed the campaign pledge fulfillment information disclosed on each local government’s website (pledge fulfillment data as of the end of December 2019), evaluating a total of five areas: ▲completion of pledge fulfillment ▲achievement of 2019 goals ▲resident communication ▲web communication ▲consistency with pledges, and classified the results into five grades from SA to D.

Mapo-gu achieved excellent results in all five areas, earning the highest grade, SA, widely recognized for its commitment to pledge fulfillment and transparency in information disclosure.

The district has been emphasizing communication with residents to faithfully fulfill its pledges made to the citizens and has been promoting pledge projects accordingly. In July last year, a roundtable discussion on pledge fulfillment was held with residents to share the progress of pledge items and to listen to residents’ evaluations and suggestions on each pledge.

Additionally, in the second half of 2019, a randomly selected pledge fulfillment jury panel was formed, and after three meetings, an evaluation of the pledge project implementation was conducted.

Following the excellent achievement of winning the Excellence Award for the “Fine Dust Reduction Project” at last year’s “National Local Government Heads Manifesto Best Practices Competition,” Mapo-gu further enhanced its status by achieving outstanding results in this 2020 evaluation by the Manifesto Headquarters.

Yoo Dong-gyun, Mayor of Mapo-gu, said, “We have always listened carefully to the voices of residents so that Mapo-gu can become a happier place for its citizens,” and added, “In the second half of the 7th local election term, we will continue to faithfully fulfill our pledges as we have done so far.”
