Eunpyeong-gu Wins National Top Award for 2020 Local Welfare Project Evaluation
Achievement of Awards in Four Areas Including Visiting Health and Welfare Services and Social Service Job Creation Targets
[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Eunpyeong-gu (Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) achieved a remarkable feat by winning awards in a total of four categories, including two grand prizes, in the 2020 Regional Welfare Project Evaluation conducted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, reaffirming its status as a leading city in welfare administration.
This evaluation, conducted across 17 metropolitan cities and provinces and 229 city, county, and district governments nationwide, covered a total of 16 categories. It is the most prestigious award in welfare administration, selecting winning local governments through a rigorous and strict evaluation process including the first review by metropolitan local governments (for basic local governments), a second review by a selection committee composed of welfare experts appointed by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, and on-site inspections.
In particular, Eunpyeong-gu received awards in four categories among local governments nationwide: ▲ Grand Prize for Providing Visiting Health and Welfare Services ▲ Grand Prize for Creating Social Service Jobs ▲ Best Award for Revitalizing the Social Economy (for three consecutive years) ▲ Excellence Award for Operating the Hope Welfare Support Group (for two consecutive years). These awards reflect the well-regarded efforts of both the public and private sectors to prioritize people with warm care administration and to build a dense and safe social safety net despite diverse and complex welfare demands and poor financial conditions.
