[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Changwon City, Gyeongnam, held the '2021 Citizen Pledge Evaluation Group Regular Meeting' on the 8th to check the progress of the 7th local government administration's campaign promises.

The Citizen Pledge Evaluation Group was formed in 2019 to promote the pledges substantively and to enhance the objectivity and reliability of the implementation evaluation. Since then, it has been performing duties such as evaluating whether the pledges have been completed, monitoring the progress, and making policy suggestions on the direction of promotion.

At this meeting, the city confirmed the implementation rate and progress of 74 pledge projects and conducted a review of the appropriateness and in-depth discussion of the proposed pledge items.

The evaluation committee assessed that the pledge projects are being smoothly promoted across all fields at a time when less than a year remains in the 7th local government administration, and requested that for some delayed projects, alternative measures be prepared so that they can proceed without setbacks despite difficult internal and external conditions.

Im Seong-woon, Director of Administrative Innovation, said, "We will do our best to ensure that all pledges are successfully completed from the citizens' perspective."

Changwon City was highly evaluated for broadly reflecting the opinions of citizens from all walks of life and experts in the pledge implementation process, and was the only city among nationwide metropolitan cities with a population of over one million to receive the highest grade (SA) for three consecutive years in the pledge evaluation by the Korea Manifesto Practice Headquarters.
