[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam Province, ranked first among the county-level divisions in the quantitative evaluation category in the 2021 Gyeongnam Province Major Task Joint Evaluation (based on 2020 performance) conducted for 18 cities and counties in the province.

According to the county, in the joint evaluation results announced by the province on the 20th, the county achieved 84.4% in the quantitative evaluation category, securing first place among the counties. Additionally, one case was selected as an excellent example of public consensus, earning a performance reward.

The joint evaluation of major tasks for cities and counties is conducted annually by the province on delegated national affairs and provincial priority policies. This year’s evaluation consisted of a total of 125 indicators, including 89 indicators from the government joint evaluation and 36 indicators from provincial priority policy areas. The evaluation was divided into 92 quantitative indicators and 33 qualitative indicators according to the evaluation method.

In particular, this evaluation holds significant meaning as it not only serves as a standard for local government administrative capacity but also provides a comprehensive overview of county government performance. This achievement became a valuable opportunity to demonstrate the administrative capacity of the county, where both the administration and residents united to overcome difficulties amid the challenging situation of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), both domestically and internationally.

To improve the performance in the joint evaluation, which had been sluggish in recent years, the county held a monthly progress report meeting chaired by the vice county governor.

Furthermore, the general management department held sequential customized individual meetings with indicator managers from each department, and as a result of efforts to achieve indicators and improve scores, the county was able to achieve first place among the counties in this evaluation.

Seo Chun-soo, the governor of Hamyang-gun, stated, “Although we have earned the honor of an award through the major task joint evaluation for cities and counties, I am more satisfied that the basic strength of county administration has improved through the evaluation. We will continue to do our best to provide high-quality administrative services to the residents exhausted by COVID-19.”
