Gyeongsan City Donates 15 Million KRW Prize from Gyeongbuk Province's Best Administrative Evaluation Award to Neighbors in Need

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] On the 24th, Gyeongsan City donated the entire prize money of 15 million KRW, part of the incentive (10 million KRW for prize expenses and 15 million KRW prize money) received as the top award in the 2020 Gyeongbuk Province City and County Evaluation, to the Gyeongbuk Social Welfare Community Chest as a donation to help neighbors.

The Gyeongbuk Province City and County Evaluation is conducted annually for 23 cities and counties within the province, comprehensively assessing administrative performance based on 95 indicators including the government's joint evaluation performance on major national tasks, job creation, investment attraction, support for small business owners, and other key provincial policies.

Gyeongsan City ranked at the top in the quantitative evaluation in social welfare fields such as discovering welfare blind spots and community social services, as well as in regional development fields such as detailed address assignment and vacant house maintenance.

In the qualitative evaluation, it was recognized for excellence in cases such as reducing the use of disposable products and promoting volunteer activities, winning the top award for the third time in four years following 2018 and 2019, and was acknowledged as the most advanced administrative city in the province.

In February, amid the spread of COVID-19, Mayor Choi Young-jo led with a donation of 5 million KRW, and all employees raised about 30 million KRW in donations, igniting the flame of love for neighbors throughout the province.

Since 2016, about 760 public officials in Gyeongsan City have been practicing warm local love by participating monthly in the Good Workplace and Workplace Sharing Movement, designating donations ranging from 5,000 KRW to 10,000 KRW.
