[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam Province announced on the 21st that it achieved a double crown in the ‘2021 Joint Evaluation of Major Tasks of Cities and Counties,’ which evaluated all administrative fields for 18 cities and counties in Gyeongsangnam-do, and will receive a financial incentive of about 150 million won.

The Joint Evaluation of Major Tasks of Cities and Counties is conducted annually by the province to comprehensively assess the performance of major national policies and provincial priority projects for 18 cities and counties within the province, aiming to secure policy competitiveness and accountability of local governments.

This year’s evaluation was based on 2020 performance and covered a total of 125 indicators, including 89 government joint evaluation items and 36 provincial priority projects, conducted in three categories (quantitative evaluation, qualitative evaluation, and excellent cases of public consensus). Geochang-gun was selected as 1st place in the county category for excellent cases of public consensus and 2nd place in the county category for qualitative evaluation.

This achievement is significant as it marks the third consecutive year of awards since the launch of the 7th local government in 2019, following awards as an excellent institution in the county category in 2020, recognizing the county’s excellent administrative capabilities in general administration, social welfare, and regional development externally.

In particular, by achieving 1st place in the county category in the field of excellent cases of public consensus, where residents directly participate to evaluate policy satisfaction, it proved the realization of Geochang-gun’s administrative goal of ‘Resident Consensus, Communication, and Harmony’ under Mayor Gu In-mo.

Mayor Gu In-mo of Geochang-gun said, “Despite difficulties due to the concentration of administrative power in response to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), the fact that we were able to win the award for three consecutive years during the 7th local government term is the result of the united efforts of all employees,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to provide the best administrative services and realize ‘Greater Geochang Leap, Era of Resident Happiness.’”
