[Naju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hanhyuk Lee] Naju City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Kang In-gyu) announced on the 21st that it held the ‘1st Progress Report Meeting for the 2022 Local Government Joint Government Evaluation’ at the Ewhwa Room of the city hall on the 20th.

At the meeting, presided over by Deputy Mayor Jung Chan-gyun, heads of 19 departments and divisions attended to discuss the progress and response plans for achieving the targets of a total of 101 indicators, including 81 quantitative indicators and 20 qualitative indicators.

The Joint Government Evaluation is a system based on Article 21 of the Government Work Evaluation Framework Act, where the Ministry of the Interior and Safety evaluates and feeds back the status of national delegated tasks, national subsidy projects, and major national policy implementations carried out by local governments together with central government ministries.

As of the end of last month, the city’s self-assessment results indicate that 66 out of the 81 quantitative indicators, such as ‘Detailed Address Assignment Performance,’ ‘Use of National and Public Daycare Centers,’ and ‘Special Recruitment of National Merit Recipients,’ are expected to meet their targets.

On the other hand, for 12 indicators with poor performance, including ‘Priority Purchase in the Social Economy Sector’ and ‘Achievement of Innovation Purchase Targets,’ the city plans to analyze causes and establish strategic plans to prepare effective alternatives and achieve the targets by the end of the year.

Starting from March, the city decided to hold monthly progress and underperformance indicator report meetings, beginning with the first report meeting this month following the establishment of the joint evaluation preparation plan.

Regarding qualitative indicators, through the first and second excellent case report meetings held earlier, the city submitted 20 indicators to Jeollanam-do at the end of April and plans to manage performance to be selected as final excellent cases.

Deputy Mayor Jung Chan-gyun said, “Excellent evaluation is based on interest and effort. With just a little more effort, all indicators can achieve their targets.” He added, “Although there are difficulties in performance management due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, I hope that administrative power will be concentrated on performance management centered on department heads in the second half of the year to leap into the top ranks of the joint evaluation.”
