Yeongdeok-gun, Gyeongbuk Province, held a manifesto special lecture on the 14th at the county office's large conference room for about 100 public officials in charge of pledge projects to effectively promote the pledges of the 8th local government.

Lee Kwang-jae, Secretary General of the Korea Manifesto Practice Headquarters, giving a special lecture on the manifesto in the large conference room on the 3rd floor of Yeongdeok County Office.

A manifesto is a political movement first proposed in 1997 by Tony Blair of the UK Labour Party, which involves concretely presenting the goals, feasibility, implementation methods, and budget securing of promises made to voters, and carrying them out.

This special lecture was organized to enhance understanding of the manifesto and strengthen the capabilities of related staff by learning and researching systematic pledge implementation plans and best practices of Yeongdeok-gun’s 8th local government, aiming to successfully execute pledge projects.

Invited as the lecturer, Lee Kwang-jae, Secretary General of the Korea Manifesto Practice Headquarters, emphasized the importance of the role and responsibility of public officials in fulfilling pledges, along with suggestions for democracy and future city direction setting. He also urged careful attention to the policy implementation process through communication with residents.

County Governor Kim Kwang-yeol said, “Taking this special lecture as an opportunity, I will make efforts with the original intention to faithfully carry out pledge projects,” and added, “All public officials will work with one heart to promote systematic and substantial policies to develop Yeongdeok-gun together with the residents.”

Yeongdeok-gun will invest a total budget of 276.3 billion KRW over five years of the 8th local government to promote 46 pledge projects across five sectors.

Last year, the first year of the 8th local government, after discussions with the resident jury for pledge implementation, a systematic and feasible plan was established, and in April, Yeongdeok-gun was the only county-level local government in Gyeongbuk to receive the highest SA grade in the “National Basic Local Government Pledge Implementation Plan Evaluation.”
