Haenam-gun Operates Civil Evaluation Group for Promises Fulfillment in 7th Elected Term

The Community Evaluation Panel Conducts Thorough Reviews... Three Evaluation Meetings Held by November

[Haenam＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Jeonnam Haenam-gun is operating a citizen evaluation group that checks the fulfillment status of the 7th local government administration’s pledges with citizen participation, receiving positive responses.

According to the county on the 1st, the pledge fulfillment citizen evaluation group consists of a total of 30 citizens selected through random drawing (ARS) and telephone interviews considering gender, age, and region among citizens aged 19 or older, to expand direct citizen participation in the pledge fulfillment process and improve the quality and transparency of decision-making.

To ensure objectivity, the group was selected through the professional organization Korea Manifesto Practice Headquarters, and evaluation meetings are held three times a year.

At the first evaluation report meeting held on the 26th of last month, education for understanding the manifesto movement and the citizen evaluation group system, formation of subcommittees, and selection of agenda items for deliberation were conducted.

This year’s agenda includes 16 items such as revitalization of the Osiano tourist complex and revitalization of traditional markets, where the status of pledge implementation will be checked and process improvements will be carefully examined.

Going forward, the pledge evaluation group will conduct subcommittee deliberations after proposal explanations and Q&A sessions with project managers. The final third meeting is scheduled for the 23rd, where a final recommendation on pledge implementation will be prepared based on the subcommittee discussion results.

Opinions derived through the citizen evaluation group will be actively reflected in county administration, and the final recommendations and acceptance status will be disclosed on the Haenam-gun website to ensure thorough fulfillment of promises made to citizens.

Meanwhile, as of the third quarter of 2021, Haenam-gun has completed 52 out of 65 pledge projects, showing a high pledge implementation rate of 96.7%.

A county official stated, “The citizen evaluation group plays an important role in in-depth deliberation on promises made to citizens and fair and objective evaluation, adding credibility to pledge implementation,” and added, “As we enter the fourth year of the 7th local government administration, we will strive to operate the pledge evaluation group more substantively to ensure no leaks in county administration.”
