The Government Joint Evaluation is an annual assessment conducted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety targeting 17 cities and provinces nationwide, evaluating the performance of local governments in carrying out delegated national tasks, national subsidy projects, and major national policies over the past year.

The evaluation method selects 72 quantitative indicators for autonomous district evaluation based on the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's evaluation criteria, assessing each district's goal achievement and effort levels.

The district thoroughly prepared for the evaluation by establishing a systematic management system, including monthly internal performance checks on evaluation indicators, staff training, holding countermeasure report meetings, and conducting indicator analysis, resulting in the great achievement of being selected as an excellent district for four consecutive years.

In particular, in this evaluation, the district received excellent ratings across various areas affecting residents' daily lives, including ▲activation of big data utilization ▲priority purchase rate of social economy products ▲performance in resolving regulatory difficulties through behavioral improvements ▲medical benefits performance for all beneficiaries ▲establishment rate of mutual cooperation networks between public libraries and small libraries ▲detailed address assignment performance ▲pet registration rate ▲and excellent cases responding to the 4th Industrial Revolution, securing a special grant of 20 million KRW as a financial incentive.

Based on this evaluation result, the district plans to conduct a detailed analysis of the causes of underperformance in some areas, prepare improvement measures, and continuously discover excellent projects.

Mayor Park Jun-hee expressed his ambition, stating, “We will actively promote policies that allow residents to feel changes and improve their quality of life in all areas of district administration, including economy, safety, welfare, education and culture, and transportation environment. We will work even harder to create a ‘Together Leading Gwanak’ where everyone is happy.”
