Why Did Geumcheon-gu Implement the 'One Department, One Integrity Policy'?

Promotion of 61 Integrity Policies Across 11 Tasks by Departments... Transparency in Subsidies, Construction, Resident Cooperation Trust, Civil Service Management... November Citizen Auditor Panel Selects Excellent Policies, Shares and Utilizes Best Practices

In August last year, at the '2020 Employee Integrity Training' held in the main auditorium of Geumcheon-gu Office, Yuseonghun, the head of Geumcheon-gu Office, is giving a greeting to the employees.

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yuseonghun) has established the ‘One Department, One Integrity Policy Operation Plan’ to foster a clean public service culture and improve integrity, and is promoting integrity policies that employees and residents can relate to.

The ‘One Department, One Integrity Policy’ is a project operated to contribute to the improvement of integrity by having all departments discover at least one integrity policy and practice voluntary integrity activities.

The integrity policies discovered according to the circumstances of each department consist of 11 tasks and 61 policies, including ▲ securing transparency in subsidy management ▲ enhancing trust in resident cooperation ▲ ensuring transparency in construction and architecture ▲ improving residents’ trust in tax and inspection work ▲ employee integrity communication meetings ▲ and management of civil complaint administrative services.

The 61 integrity policies will be autonomously promoted with the participation of all departments, and in November, an evaluation team composed of citizen auditors will select outstanding policies. Departments that operated the selected policies will receive incentives (monetary rewards), and exemplary cases will be shared with all departments to encourage active promotion of integrity policies.

Yuseonghun, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, said, “To realize a trusted Geumcheon for residents, the interest and participation of all public officials are necessary,” and added, “We will actively promote integrity policies suitable for each department’s circumstances to become a Geumcheon-gu trusted by residents.”
