[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Haenam-gun (Governor Myung Hyun-kwan) has been faithfully fulfilling its promises to the residents during the 7th local government administration.

According to Haenam-gun on the 28th, out of 65 detailed tasks, 38 have been completed, including the nation's first farmer allowance support, issuance of Haenam Love Gift Certificates, development of the Haenam Minam Agricultural Food Festival, efficient supply of clean water, opening of the Northern Agricultural Machinery Rental Office, introduction of rural bus assistants and the 1000 won intra-county bus fare system, operation of safe return taxis for youth, and creating education free from fine dust in kindergartens, elementary, middle, and high schools, showing an overall implementation rate of 58.5%.

The overall pledge implementation rate stands at 79.2%. Due to the spread of COVID-19, areas that fell short of this year's goals will be the focus of response plan reviews, and based on this, response plans will be established to ensure that promises to residents are carried out without disruption.

In particular, the county has formed and operates a pledge implementation citizen evaluation group composed of residents randomly selected by region and age to enhance fairness and objectivity in key tasks and to reflect the opinions of residents. In the second half of the year, the evaluation group will be organized again to fairly and objectively assess the fulfillment of promises this year and to gather the capabilities of the residents.

Governor Myung Hyun-kwan said, “We plan to meticulously check by department and project to proactively respond and proceed with speed in fulfilling promises to residents,” adding, “We will strive to create a trusted county administration and a transformed Haenam.”

Meanwhile, Haenam-gun has been faithfully fulfilling its promises to residents, having been selected for two consecutive years as the highest grade (SA) in pledge implementation evaluation conducted by the Korea Manifesto Practice Headquarters and receiving an excellence award in last year's pledge implementation best practice presentation.

As of the end of last year, the manifesto evaluation results showed Haenam-gun’s pledge implementation rate at 50.2%, significantly higher than the national average of 34.3% and Jeonnam’s 28.4%, establishing itself as the most exemplary local government in pledge implementation during the 7th local government administration.
