Achieving Four Crowns: Integrity Committee-led (Integrity and Anti-Corruption Policy Evaluation), Ministry of the Interior-led (Proactive Administration), Jointly-led (Civil Service) ... Dongjak-gu Staff's Continuous Efforts for Residents Yield Meaningful Results

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Dongjak-gu (Mayor Changwoo Lee) achieved a grand slam by being selected as an excellent institution with the highest grade in the Ministry of the Interior and Safety’s ‘Comprehensive Evaluation of Proactive Administration of Local Governments,’ following the highest grades received last year in ▲Integrity Evaluation ▲Comprehensive Evaluation of Civil Service ▲Anti-Corruption Policy Evaluation.

This ‘Comprehensive Evaluation of Proactive Administration of Local Governments’ was conducted by a panel of private experts who analyzed and evaluated the efforts and achievements of 243 local governments nationwide in five areas and 18 indicators, including proactive administration system improvement, residents’ perception of proactive administration, and elimination of passive administration.

To establish a leading foundation for proactive administration, the district promoted various tasks last year, including ▲enactment of the Proactive Administration Operation Ordinance ▲establishment of the Proactive Administration Implementation Plan ▲designation of a dedicated department for proactive administration.

Furthermore, to raise awareness of proactive administration, the district received high evaluations for taking the lead in establishing a proactive administration foundation by implementing various policies such as ▲case-centered education on proactive administration for all employees ▲proactive administration quizzes ▲proactive administration pledge performances.

In addition, in December last year, the district received the highest grade of Level 2 among all autonomous districts nationwide for two consecutive years in the ‘2020 Public Institution Integrity Evaluation’ conducted by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission.

Thus, Dongjak-gu once again proved its integrity with zero corruption incidents and a 0% corruption experience rate for two consecutive years.

Over the past year, the district identified vulnerable areas such as integrity and promoted 24 detailed tasks across six domains, enhancing transparency and openness in work processes with the awareness that job satisfaction equates to integrity, thereby receiving excellent evaluations from residents through communication.

Moreover, Dongjak-gu further elevated its level of integrity by achieving Grade 1 in the ‘2020 Public Institution Anti-Corruption Policy Evaluation’ conducted by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission, which assesses voluntary anti-corruption efforts of public institutions.

Institution heads and senior officials actively demonstrated their anti-corruption commitment through events such as the ▲Integrity Practice Resolution Meeting and ▲Integrity One-Word by Senior Officials, firmly establishing the district as an excellent integrity institution.

Also, in January this year, Dongjak-gu was selected as the best institution among autonomous districts nationwide in the ‘2020 Comprehensive Evaluation of Civil Service’ jointly hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission, earning the honor of winning four major external evaluations.

The district was recognized for providing user-centered, proactive civil services and continuously improving inadequate civil service practices, securing government awards and financial incentives such as special grants.

Mayor Changwoo Lee of Dongjak-gu said, “Dongjak-gu’s grand slam achievement is a meaningful result obtained through the continuous concern and efforts of all employees for the residents,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to positively influence all aspects and places of residents’ lives with integrity and a friendly attitude.”
