[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] Sangju City in Gyeongbuk announced on the 26th that it plans to select a total of 6 outstanding public officials for proactive administration in 2020 (1 grand prize, 2 excellence awards, 3 encouragement awards) by February.

This measure aims to spread a culture of proactive administration within the public service by providing various incentives to public officials who have promoted policies creatively and challengingly beyond routine work levels, and to employees who serve as role models with a proactive work attitude.

Until the 27th, recommendations for outstanding public officials will be accepted from departments and citizens, and preliminary candidates will be selected through practical reviews by the responsible department, including verification of achievements and checks for disqualifications.

After the first screening (City Administration Coordination Committee) determines the final candidates, the second and final screening (Proactive Administration Committee) will deliberate and decide on the outstanding public officials and incentives. The number of selected officials and the scale of awards may vary depending on the final screening results.

In June last year, Sangju City created a 'Proactive Administration Corner' on the city hall website to encourage proactive administration and communicate with citizens. This corner posts various materials such as concepts, systems, and cases of proactive administration to help citizens easily understand proactive administration.
