Damyang-gun Achieves Grade 2 in Public Institution Integrity... Maintains Top Rank for 3 Consecutive Years

[Damyang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] On the 13th, Damyang-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that it received a comprehensive integrity grade of 2 in the 2021 public institution integrity evaluation, maintaining a top-tier ranking for three consecutive years.

The public institution integrity evaluation is a system that diagnoses the level of integrity by combining the results of surveys conducted by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission on 592 public institutions nationwide, targeting citizens and public officials who have directly experienced the institutions' services, along with the institutions' corruption occurrence status. This evaluation has been published annually since 2002.

This year, Damyang-gun received a grade of 2 for both external integrity and internal integrity, resulting in an overall integrity grade of 2, placing it among the top ranks among the 22 cities and counties in Jeollanam-do.

To foster a culture of integrity in public service, Damyang-gun conducts anti-corruption and integrity education for all employees and prevents corrupt practices through routine audits and ecological city guideline reviews.

Additionally, through the Cheongbaek-e system and the operation of integrity mileage, public officials themselves strive to maintain vigilance and correct administrative errors.

A county official stated, “We will analyze the results of the integrity evaluation to address vulnerable areas and do our best to achieve a grade 1 in integrity,” adding, “We will create a clean and trustworthy public service culture through fair and transparent work performance and proactive administration.”
