Gwanak-gu Achieves 'Grade 2' in 2020 Public Institution Integrity Evaluation... Two-Level Improvement from Previous Year

Among Seoul's Autonomous Districts, Highest Grade Achieved, Perfect Scores in All Corruption Experience Areas... Jumped Two Levels from Grade 4 to Grade 2 Between 2018 and 2019

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Jun-hee) achieved a comprehensive integrity rating of Grade 2 in the '2020 Public Institution Integrity Measurement Results' announced by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission.

On the 9th, the district announced that it achieved a comprehensive integrity rating of Grade 2 in the public institution integrity measurement results, marking a two-level improvement from Grade 4 over the past two years since 2018.

In particular, the two-level rise in external integrity played a leading role in the increase of the comprehensive integrity rating, and the corruption experience area scored full marks in all items.

Also, since no autonomous district among the 25 districts of Seoul received Grade 1 this year, Gwanak-gu effectively received the highest grade, and only two institutions, including Gwanak-gu, improved by two or more grades.

Meanwhile, the 2020 public institution comprehensive integrity measurement was conducted by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission targeting 580 public institutions nationwide. The comprehensive integrity was evaluated based on survey results from citizens with work experience with the institutions (external integrity), public officials of the institutions (internal integrity), and the status of corruption incidents.

Mayor Park Jun-hee said, “Achieving Grade 2 in this evaluation is the result of the joint efforts of residents who trusted the district office despite the prolonged COVID-19 situation and all the employees who did their best,” adding, “We will not be satisfied with the rise to Grade 2 in integrity and will continue to do our best to become a city that leads a happy and integrity culture for both residents and employees.”
