[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] Daegu City was selected as the best institution for two consecutive years in the '2020 Resident Participation Budget System Excellent Local Government Selection Evaluation' conducted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, securing a special grant of 320 million KRW.


According to Daegu City on the 16th, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety conducts an annual evaluation of the operation performance of the resident participation budget system targeting local governments to discover and spread excellent models of resident participation budget system operation.


Despite the spread of COVID-19 this year, Daegu City was evaluated for leading active citizen participation by switching to non-face-to-face methods such as online general meetings and cyber budget academies before budget formulation. Especially in this year's evaluation, even as the scope expanded from 7 special/metropolitan cities to 15 special/metropolitan cities and provinces, Daegu City once again earned the honor of being recognized as the best institution nationwide.


Along with Daegu City's selection as the best institution, Dalseo-gu and Dalseong-gun were selected as excellent institutions in the comprehensive award category, and Seo-gu was selected as the best institution in the online/mobile special award category.



Daegu Mayor Kwon Young-jin said, "This year was a difficult year for many citizens due to the spread of COVID-19," and added, "Even in this crisis, I would like to express my deep gratitude to the citizens who showed interest and actively participated in the resident participation budget system and to each and every member of the resident participation budget committee."
