Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Lee Gi-jae) has earned the honor of achieving the highest grade, ‘S Grade,’ for the ninth consecutive year in the 2023 Joint Local Government Evaluation.

The ‘Joint Local Government Evaluation’ is a system jointly conducted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and central administrative agencies to comprehensively assess the performance of 17 metropolitan cities and provinces in executing national delegated tasks and national subsidy projects. This year’s evaluation was conducted based on the performance over the past year against 112 indicators developed to achieve six major national policy goals.

Based on the Ministry of the Interior and Safety’s evaluation results, Seoul City assessed the performance of 25 autonomous districts by combining achievement levels of quantitative indicators and preparation/effort levels, grading them as S, A, or B.

As a result of the evaluation, the district achieved 28 out of 34 quantitative indicator targets (82.3%) and will receive a financial incentive of 35 million KRW. In particular, the district showed strong performance across various indicators, including ▲timely establishment rate of essential ordinances ▲achievement of innovative procurement targets ▲policy improvement rate through gender impact assessments ▲support for the settlement of North Korean defectors in the local community ▲and the rate of revising local regulations inconsistent with laws, earning excellent evaluations.

Additionally, the district was recognized for its company-wide efforts to improve performance for the joint evaluation, such as establishing plans, holding joint evaluation progress report meetings chaired by the deputy mayor, focused management of indicator performance, and capacity-building training for indicator managers, receiving full marks in the qualitative evaluation.

Lee Gi-jae, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, stated, “Achieving an excellent grade for nine consecutive years is the result of Yangcheon’s outstanding administrative capability, unwaveringly dedicated to district administration with the citizens as the sole focus.” He added, “We will continue to steadily implement key projects and major policies that all citizens can feel, creating ‘Yangcheon, a city where people want to live and enjoy living.’”
