Mapo-gu Selected as 'Highest Grade' in 2020 Government Joint Evaluation

Excellent evaluation of national delegated tasks, government subsidy projects, and major national policies conducted last year... Secured 40 million KRW in financial incentives with 9 consecutive years of awards since 2012

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Mapo-gu (District Mayor Yudonggyun, photo) has achieved the highest S grade among Seoul's autonomous districts in the '2020 Local Government Joint Government Evaluation' conducted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

The Joint Government Evaluation is a comprehensive assessment conducted jointly with relevant central ministries by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, targeting 17 cities and provinces nationwide, evaluating national delegated tasks, national subsidy projects, and major national policies carried out over the past year.

Mapo-gu was honored with the highest grade by receiving high scores in quantitative indicators and preparation efforts (including qualitative indicators) in the performance evaluation of 25 autonomous districts conducted by Seoul City.

In particular, Mapo-gu, which received the highest grade corresponding to the top 30% in this year's evaluation converted to a relative evaluation among autonomous districts, will receive a financial incentive of 40 million KRW from Seoul City in the future.

Mapo-gu achieved balanced results across all evaluation indicators. Especially, it recorded excellent results in ▲the conversion rate of non-regular workers to regular workers ▲the provision rate of elderly care services ▲the treatment implementation rate for latent tuberculosis infection ▲the achievement rate of the installation target for communal childcare sharing centers.

This reflects the district administration philosophy of Mayor Yudonggyun of Mapo-gu, who has consistently emphasized consideration and welfare policies for socially vulnerable groups.

Starting with the award for excellence in 2012, Mapo-gu has achieved the record of winning the Joint Government Evaluation for nine consecutive years up to this year. It is interpreted that efforts such as regular training for project managers, progress review meetings, and discovering best practices for qualitative indicators, which are routinely conducted during policy implementation, support such award achievements.

Mayor Yudonggyun of Mapo-gu said, “While achieving the highest grade in the evaluation is important, it is even more important to have an attitude of solving even one more concern, problem, or inconvenience experienced by residents on a daily basis,” and added, “We will strive harder to provide administration that residents can be satisfied with and trust.”
