[Haenam＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] The fulfillment rate of the 7th local government administration's pledges in Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do, is approaching 95%, indicating smooth progress.

According to Haenam-gun on the 23rd, a review of the 7th local government administration's pledge projects in the second quarter of 2021 showed that out of 65 tasks, 48 projects have been completed, and 17 projects are underway, demonstrating a 95% implementation rate and high achievement in fulfilling promises to residents.

Haenam-gun has established 65 pledges under five major strategies with the vision of "Shining Land’s End, Haenam Running Again" for the 7th local government administration and is making every effort to achieve the goals of the pledges by checking and analyzing the progress quarterly.

In the first half of this year, achievements were made in participating in the establishment of the North-South Exchange Cooperation Forum and discovering and promoting North-South exchange cooperation projects that utilize Haenam-gun’s unique characteristics. Additionally, the Life Healing Forest project, which creates a maple forest in the Daeheungsa area, was completed.

In the second half of this year, marking the fourth year of the 7th local government administration, most major pledge projects are expected to be completed. In July, the Uldolmok Skywalk and a new export-specialized smart farm greenhouse will be completed, and in September, a local food direct sales store will be established and officially operated, replacing the current temporary store. The establishment of the Haenam Culture and Tourism Foundation is also expected to invigorate cultural arts and tourism in Haenam-gun.

The county will continue to enhance the outcomes of completed projects through ongoing management and exploration of development directions. Additionally, a pledge implementation citizen evaluation group, composed of randomly selected residents by region and age, will be formed and operated to reflect residents’ opinions and increase the fairness and objectivity of the pledges.

County Governor Myeong Hyun-gwan stated, “As we enter the fourth year of the 7th local government administration in the second half of this year, with most major projects nearing completion, we will faithfully carry out the remaining pledge projects so that residents can feel the changes in Haenam through promises made to them.”

Meanwhile, Haenam-gun has been recognized for faithfully fulfilling promises to residents, receiving the highest grade (SA) for three consecutive years in the pledge implementation evaluation conducted by the Korea Manifesto Practice Headquarters and winning the excellence award for two consecutive years in the excellent case competition.
