Seoul City Receives Minister of the Interior and Safety Award for 'E-Government Performance Management Excellence'

Achieving First Place Among Metropolitan Local Governments for Two Consecutive Years

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 27th that it has been selected as an outstanding institution in the 2022 e-Government Performance Management Level Diagnosis Evaluation conducted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, and will receive the ‘e-Government Performance Management Merit’ Ministerial Commendation from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety on the 31st.

e-Government performance management is a task that all administrative and public institutions must undertake based on the e-Government Act to prevent similar and overlapping projects in advance and to provide efficient e-Government services based on performance. Seoul was recognized as the top metropolitan local government in the field of e-Government performance management by ranking first for two consecutive years, following 2021, in this year’s e-Government performance management level diagnosis evaluation.

The performance management level diagnosis evaluates e-Government projects promoted by institutions over the course of a year based on a total of 28 detailed indicators across three areas: ▲ information resource management ▲ step-by-step performance management implementation ▲ prevention of duplicate investment. As a result of the evaluation, Seoul scored evenly excellent in all three areas, and notably, Seoul is the only metropolitan local government to achieve an average score of over 90 points.

This year, Seoul thoroughly applied the e-Government performance management procedures to 69 informatization projects and 219 information systems.

Lee Hye-kyung, Director of Digital Policy, said, “e-Government performance management is the most important task that forms the foundation of efficient e-Government services,” adding, “We will continue to make efforts to improve the efficiency of e-Government service investments and enhance service levels through detailed performance management.”
