Kim Mikyung, Eunpyeong District Mayor, Receives Nationwide 'Highest Grade (SA)' in Manifesto Pledge Implementation Evaluation

Currently striving to achieve pledge goals with a 78% fulfillment rate... Quarterly Tomorrow Advisory Panel Evaluation and Pledge Progress Management

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Eunpyeong-gu (Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) received the highest grade, SA, in the evaluation of the fulfillment of pledges and information disclosure for the 7th local government term conducted by the Korea Manifesto Practice Headquarters, being recognized as a district with a high pledge fulfillment rate.

This pledge fulfillment evaluation monitored the status of pledge fulfillment as of December 31, 2020, for 226 local governments nationwide, assessing five areas: ▲pledge completion rate ▲annual goal achievement ▲resident communication ▲web communication ▲pledge consistency, and assigned five grades: SA, A, B, C, and D based on the results.

Among the 29 pledge projects under five major goals, Eunpyeong-gu has completed or is continuously promoting nine projects, including operating a resident petition system that reflects residents' opinions, creating a smart city for socially vulnerable groups, and ensuring safety in daily life through public-private cooperation.

Additionally, 18 projects such as the Korean Peninsula-centered Unification Museum Eunpyeong and the establishment of a lifelong learning system at the community level are progressing normally, currently achieving a 78% pledge fulfillment rate, with efforts underway to meet pledge goals without setbacks.

Along with this, systematic management of pledge progress is conducted through quarterly Tomorrow Advisory Group evaluations and self-assessments. The website has been revamped to allow any resident to easily understand and access the status of pledge implementation, and efforts have been made to communicate with residents by collecting opinions through resident jury evaluations.

Eunpyeong-gu achieved excellent results in evaluations conducted by Korea Manifesto, receiving the highest rating (SA) in April 2019 for the 7th local government pledge implementation plan evaluation, and an excellent rating (A) in the 2020 pledge fulfillment and information disclosure evaluation. In the national local government manifesto best practice competition, it won the grand prize in citizen participation and village autonomy in 2019 and an excellence award in safety autonomy in 2020.

Kim Mi-kyung, Mayor of Eunpyeong-gu, stated, “The continuous excellent results in the pledge evaluations for the 7th local government term are the result of the joint efforts of 1,500 public officials and all residents who wish for the development of Eunpyeong.” She added, “During the remaining term, we will supplement any shortcomings in the pledge projects and strive to achieve results that residents can feel through fulfilling pledge goals. Along with the pledges, we will keep every promise made to the residents to realize a ‘Together Prosperous Eunpyeong.’”
