Myeong Hyun-gwan, Haenam County Governor, the Only One in Jeonnam to Receive 'Top Excellence' in Manifesto Evaluation for 3 Consecutive Years

Promises with Residents in the 7th Civilian Administration Progressing Smoothly: "Recognized as the Best Pledge Fulfillment Nationwide"

[Haenam＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do, has achieved the highest grade (SA) for three consecutive years in the 2021 nationwide basic local government heads' pledge fulfillment and information disclosure evaluation conducted by the Korea Manifesto Practice Headquarters.

According to the county on the 2nd, Haenam-gun is the only county-level local government in Jeollanam-do to receive the highest grade for three consecutive years. Nationwide, among 226 cities, counties, and districts, only three county-level local governments?Haenam-gun, Wanju-gun, and Yeongdeok-gun?have received the highest evaluation for three consecutive years, demonstrating outstanding performance.

The Manifesto evaluation annually conducts a comprehensive assessment of the philosophy and vision of the publicly disclosed pledge implementation plan, the annual implementation roadmap, and financial plans to enhance the effectiveness and feasibility of election pledges.

Especially this year, ahead of the fourth year of the 7th local government term, a comprehensive evaluation was conducted to derive the election pledge fulfillment performance and final tasks of basic local government heads. Haenam-gun’s acquisition of the highest grade is particularly meaningful as it externally recognizes the pledge fulfillment achievements of the 7th local government term.

The evaluation criteria include five indicators: pledge fulfillment completion area (50 points), 2020 goal achievement area (50 points), resident communication area (100 points), web communication area (Pass/Fail), and pledge consistency area (Pass/Fail). Through first-stage evaluation and manifesto data verification, five grades (SA, A, B, C, D) are assigned, with a total score of 70 or above designated as SA grade.

Since the inauguration of Haenam-gun Mayor Myeong Hyun-gwan, the county has established 65 pledges under five major strategies with the vision of “Shining Land’s End, Haenam Running Again” for the 7th local government term, and has been doing its best to achieve the pledge goals by checking and analyzing quarterly progress.

Among the 65 detailed pledges of the 7th local government term, 46 projects have been completed, showing a pledge fulfillment rate of 70.7%, while 19 projects are underway, indicating a high pledge implementation rate exceeding 90%.

This pledge fulfillment rate is significantly higher than the national average of 54.1%, establishing Haenam-gun as the most exemplary local government in pledge implementation during the 7th local government term.

In particular, last year, the annual pledge implementation target was achieved 100%, accelerating the progress of major pledges, and the financial securing rate for pledge implementation was 95.68%, brightening the prospects for feasible pledge execution.

Additionally, to increase public consensus, Haenam-gun continuously discloses the pledge implementation process through the Haenam-gun website so that residents can easily understand it at a glance. The operation of a citizen evaluation group directly participating in pledge implementation has also enhanced the objectivity and fairness of pledge execution, receiving favorable evaluations.

Mayor Myeong Hyun-gwan said, “Achieving the highest pledge fulfillment evaluation grade (SA) for three consecutive years is the result of Haenam-gun prioritizing promises made to residents and working diligently.” He added, “We will continue to carry out projects flawlessly through ongoing communication administration so that residents can feel the effects, striving to make Haenam a trusted, pleasant, and livable place.”
