Yangcheon-gu Achieves S Grade in 2020 Government Joint Evaluation

Selected as an Excellent Autonomous District for 6 Consecutive Years... Rated S Grade and Specially Granted 40 Million KRW Financial Incentive from Seoul City

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Soo-young) achieved the remarkable feat of being selected as an excellent district in the government joint evaluation for six consecutive years by receiving an S grade in the Seoul Metropolitan Government district evaluation conducted based on the 2020 government joint evaluation results.

The government joint evaluation is a system in which the Ministry of the Interior and Safety evaluates the performance of delegated national tasks, national subsidy projects, and major national policies carried out over one year by 17 metropolitan cities and provinces and 25 autonomous districts in Seoul, respectively, through 5 national goals, 16 national strategies, 39 national tasks, and 122 indicators.

According to the evaluation criteria of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, evaluations are conducted based on an 80% achievement rate and 20% effort indicator, and S/A/B grades are assigned to each autonomous district.

This year, among the 25 autonomous districts in Seoul, eight districts including Yangcheon-gu received the S grade, and by receiving the S grade this year, Yangcheon-gu was selected as an excellent autonomous district for six consecutive years.

The reasons Yangcheon-gu was selected as an S grade district this year include ▲ remarkable achievements such as recording a high success rate in self-sufficiency participation in the welfare sector and providing proactive elderly care services ▲ consistent efforts to reduce greenhouse gases, such as a high participation rate in the Carbon Point System in the environmental sector ▲ excellent performance in continuously identifying regulatory difficulties related to small and medium-sized enterprises and small business owners and in carrying out local government financial support job projects in the local economy sector, which received particularly positive evaluations.

Meanwhile, autonomous districts that received the S grade this year, including Yangcheon-gu, will receive a special financial incentive grant of 40 million KRW from the Seoul Metropolitan Government.

Kim Soo-young, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, stated, “Yangcheon-gu’s excellent evaluation in the government joint evaluation for six consecutive years can be seen as external recognition of our district’s active efforts to promote major national policies,” and added, “The 40 million KRW financial incentive received from the Seoul Metropolitan Government will be used to implement effective district administration for the residents. We will also mobilize all possible measures to faithfully carry out major policies that residents can feel and to make Yangcheon-gu grow even more.”
