[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] Uiryeong-gun, Gyeongnam Province, was selected as an excellent institution for two consecutive years in the '2021 Local Government Innovation Evaluation' hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

Efforts and achievements for regional innovation were evaluated based on 14 indicators across 5 categories: institutional autonomous innovation, inclusive administration, participation and cooperation, trusted government, and innovation diffusion and public perception, targeting 243 local governments nationwide.

For a fair and objective evaluation, the 'Local Government Innovation Evaluation Group' composed of private experts and the 'Public Evaluation Group' recruited from the general public participated to assess performance from January to December 2021.

Sixty local governments were selected as excellent institutions, and Uiryeong-gun was recognized for the head of the institution's innovation leadership, organizational culture innovation, and efforts to promote public resource openness and shared services.

Initiatives such as installing a shared laundry facility for small and medium-sized enterprise workers' uniforms and assigning road name addresses to vinyl greenhouses for the first time nationwide also earned high scores.

County Governor Oh Taewan said, "I am pleased that Uiryeong-gun's internal and external innovative administration for sustainable development received good evaluations for two consecutive years," and added, "We will further ignite the flame of innovation so that residents can feel the changes in administration."
