Yeongam-gun Implements Comprehensive Measures to Improve Anti-Corruption Integrity

Integrity as a Core Value for Regional Growth

[Yeongam=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-kyung] Yeongam-gun, Jeollanam-do, is preparing and implementing a comprehensive plan to improve anti-corruption integrity in 2022.

The main policies include establishing a regional integrity network and introducing a citizen integrity auditor system as measures for solidarity and cooperation to expand integrity awareness in the local community. In addition, the county plans to early establish its own foundation for the stable implementation of advanced anti-corruption systems such as the Conflict of Interest Prevention Act and the Public Interest Reporting System, which will be enforced in May.

To innovate within the organization, a vulnerable area in integrity, and to spread a consensus on integrity culture, various education, publicity, and cultural activities will be carried out, including mandatory integrity education for all employees, integrity dialogue meetings, junior board discussions, and improvements in working methods.

Activities to prevent corruption in advance will also be strengthened, such as integrity happy call satisfaction surveys, continuous internal and external monitoring through the Cheongbaek e-system, activation of the corruption reporting system, and enhanced self-inspection during vulnerable periods.

Based on 16 key tasks in 4 areas reflected in the comprehensive plan, detailed implementation plans will be prepared and promoted throughout the year, and new policies will be continuously discovered.

The county sees this as an opportunity to share and spread the value of integrity as a core competency for regional growth and to elevate the region's status to a higher level.

Meanwhile, Yeongam-gun received an overall grade 2 in the anti-corruption integrity evaluation by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission last year.
