[Muju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Han-ho] Muju County announced on the 7th that it received an A grade for two consecutive years in the nationwide evaluation of basic local government heads' pledge fulfillment conducted annually by the Korea Manifesto Practice Headquarters.

The pledges of Muju County during the 7th elected term cover five areas: tourism, agriculture, welfare, development, and administration, totaling 77 projects, with a pledge fulfillment rate of 92% as of the end of last year.

Among these, 24 pledges have been completed, including the creation of dementia-safe villages and installation of solar power facilities in senior centers, while 28 pledges are ongoing, such as support for half-priced agricultural machinery, issuance of local love gift certificates, and support for senior citizens' hair and beauty services.

Additionally, 18 pledges are progressing normally, including the establishment of the Global Muju Taekwon City, construction of a complex cultural library, and revitalization projects for tourism resources along the Geumgang River in Bunam.

However, 5 pledges are partially underway, and 2 pledges have not been pursued.

Hwang In-hong, the governor of Muju County, said, “Since pledges are promises to the residents, we have done our best to keep each one. We will devote our utmost effort until the end so that Muju County in the 7th elected term, which has continued a vigorous journey for the region and its residents, can achieve a successful conclusion.”

Meanwhile, the 2022 nationwide evaluation of basic local government heads' pledge fulfillment and information disclosure was conducted to identify urgent tasks and response measures by checking the election pledge fulfillment performance of the 7th elected term heads. The results were finally compiled through a first evaluation, which monitored data disclosed on local government websites nationwide from February 14 to March 4 by an evaluation team composed of experts and activists from the Manifesto Headquarters, and a second evaluation through data supplementation.
