The outstanding administrative capabilities of Gangseo-gu, Seoul have been proven once again.

The district announced that it received the highest grade S in the ‘2023 Government Joint Evaluation,’ achieving the remarkable feat of being selected as an ‘Excellent District’ for nine consecutive years.

The Government Joint Evaluation, hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, is a system that evaluates the performance of delegated national tasks, national subsidy projects, and major national policies carried out over the past year across 17 metropolitan cities and provinces to ensure efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability in national administration.

Based on the Ministry of the Interior and Safety’s evaluation results, Seoul City assessed the performance of its 25 autonomous districts according to goal achievement and effort levels.

As a result, Gangseo-gu received the highest grade S, marking nine consecutive years as an excellent district, and was awarded a financial incentive of 35 million KRW from Seoul City.

In this evaluation, which combined goal achievement (out of 65 points) and preparation effort (out of 35 points), the district scored 91.9 points, significantly surpassing the Seoul district average of 84.1 points.

Notably, the district achieved a perfect score of 35 points in the effort category due to the active participation of its staff.

In this evaluation, the district received high marks in indicators closely related to residents’ daily lives, such as ▲the independence achievement rate of out-of-school youth ▲recyclable resource separation per resident ▲achievement rate of public employment support services ▲and the conversion rate of non-regular workers to regular positions.

The district explained that these results were achieved through proactive efforts, including regularly holding reporting meetings to check performance during project implementation and establishing sector-specific measures for indicators with poor performance.

Park Dae-woo, Acting Mayor of Gangseo-gu, stated, “Being selected as an excellent district for nine consecutive years is the result of our staff working wholeheartedly to provide administration for the residents.” He added, “We will not be satisfied with this and will thoroughly analyze indicators with poor results in this year’s evaluation to do our best to make Gangseo-gu an even better place to live.”
