Achieved Top 30% Excellence Rating... Secured 40 Million Won Seoul City Financial Incentive... High Evaluation for Non-Regular Workers' Conversion to Regular, Community Childcare Sharing Center Installation, Out-of-School Youth Support, Detailed Address Assignment

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor Yoo Deok-yeol) achieved the highest grade (S grade) in the Seoul Metropolitan Government's autonomous district evaluation based on the 2020 government joint evaluation (2019 performance).

The government joint evaluation, hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, is a system that jointly evaluates national delegated tasks, national subsidy projects, and major national policies performed by local governments together with central administrative agencies.

Seoul evaluates all 25 autonomous districts annually based on the Ministry of the Interior and Safety’s evaluation of Seoul to increase the interest and performance of autonomous districts in the government joint evaluation.

As a result of evaluating the 2019 performance on detailed indicators this year, Dongdaemun-gu, along with seven other districts including Dobong-gu, received the highest grade (S grade), corresponding to the top 30%, and secured an incentive of 40 million KRW from Seoul.

In this government joint evaluation, the district received high scores in areas closely related to daily life such as ▲conversion rate of non-regular workers to regular workers ▲achievement rate of shared childcare center installation targets ▲efforts to support out-of-school youth ▲beneficiaries of children’s meal management support ▲performance in assigning detailed addresses.

Furthermore, the district has continuously made efforts to achieve excellent results by conducting monthly performance checks on various evaluation indicators along with progress report meetings, focusing on poorly performing items, and providing training for indicator managers. This year as well, through the progress report meeting and performance checks to be held in October, the district plans to meticulously monitor the implementation results of government policies.

Yoo Deok-yeol, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, said, “It is rewarding that our best efforts on various government policies to make Dongdaemun-gu comfortable for residents have led to good evaluation results. We will continue to actively promote government subsidy projects and do our best to achieve excellent results in future evaluations.”

Last year, the district also received the highest grade in the government joint evaluation by earning high marks in areas such as ▲application rate for the happy childbirth one-stop service ▲expansion rate of local community service provision ▲usage rate of national and public daycare centers.
