Daejeon City Wins 'Grand Prize' for Regional Social Security Plan Evaluation for 3 Consecutive Years

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] On the 14th, Daejeon City announced that it won the grand prize in the field of evaluation of the implementation results of the Community Social Security Plan at the '2021 Welfare Administration Awards' ceremony hosted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare.

This is the third consecutive year that the city has won the grand prize in this category. The evaluation of the Community Social Security Plan has been conducted annually by the Ministry of Health and Welfare since 2015, targeting metropolitan and basic local governments nationwide.

The regional Community Social Security Plan is a mid- to long-term welfare plan organized in four-year units. The city is currently establishing and implementing plans for 75 projects across five core areas.

In the evaluation, the city was highly praised for establishing a monitoring system involving various stakeholders such as private organizations and local residents, collecting opinions on the progress of each project, conducting process inspections and result confirmations, and reflecting these in welfare policies.

Additionally, the city achieved the distinction of being selected as the ‘Best Institution’ for four consecutive years in the post-management evaluation of social security benefits.

This evaluation is conducted to verify whether welfare benefits are appropriately paid by timely reflecting income, property, and personal maintenance data of benefit recipients.

In the evaluation, the city received excellent ratings in six indicators, including the ‘processing rate within the integrated household personal maintenance period,’ earning the top award this year.

Lee Dong-han, Director of the City’s Health and Welfare Bureau, said, “Daejeon’s simultaneous receipt of the grand prize for the Community Social Security Plan for three consecutive years and the best award for social security benefits post-management for four consecutive years is tantamount to external recognition of the excellence of local welfare administration. The city will continue to research, discover, and implement welfare policies tailored to local conditions together with its citizens.”
