Incheon City Launches Citizen Evaluation Group to Review Citizen-Proposed Pledges... 45 Members Across 5 Divisions

Incheon City announced on the 8th that it has appointed 45 members to the 'Citizen Proposal Pledge Citizen Evaluation Group,' which will review and deliberate on tasks proposed by civic groups and ordinary citizens, and held its first meeting.

Last December, the city selected 45 members for the citizen evaluation group through an open recruitment targeting Incheon citizens aged 18 and older, divided into five subcommittees: ▲ Future Creation & Balanced Development ▲ Culture, Arts & Education Safety ▲ Economy, Environment & Green Spaces & Waterworks ▲ Transportation & Rural Fisheries ▲ Welfare & Communication and Empathy.

They will be responsible for checking the progress of 222 citizen-proposed pledges of the 8th elected administration, suggesting improvement plans, and reviewing adjustments to pledge implementation plans.

Earlier, in January, the city distinguished election pledges focused on election brochures as 'Election Pledges (178 items)' and major tasks proposed by civic groups and ordinary citizens as 'Citizen Proposal Pledges,' announcing the pledge projects of the 8th elected administration accordingly.
