Gwangju's Only Buk-gu District Selected as an Excellent Local Government for Proactive Administration

On the 24th, Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City announced that it was the only district in Gwangju to be selected as an excellent institution in the '2023 First Half Local Government Proactive Administration Performance Evaluation' hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

The proactive administration performance evaluation is conducted to secure the implementation capability of proactive administration among 243 local governments nationwide. This year's first half evaluation was carried out from July to August through a fair and thorough review by an evaluation panel composed of private experts, resulting in the final selection of seven local governments as excellent institutions.

In this evaluation, Buk-gu was recognized for its various efforts to foster an organizational culture that encourages proactive administration among public officials, such as promoting the use of proactive administration systems, protecting proactive public officials, and providing incentives to outstanding proactive public officials.

In particular, in April, Buk-gu operated the public-private joint 'Gwangyonghap Trade Promotion Team' targeting the Philippines and Vietnam to support small and medium-sized enterprises in pioneering overseas markets, the first among autonomous districts in Gwangju. This initiative led to export consultations worth 18.3 million dollars and on-site contract signings worth 1.7 million dollars, revitalizing the local economy and being evaluated as an excellent case.

Accordingly, Buk-gu was selected as an excellent institution among 69 autonomous districts nationwide, one of only two to receive this honor, and attended the award ceremony held at the Sejong Government Complex on the 21st to receive the ministerial award.

A Buk-gu official stated, "Since proactive administration leads to increased convenience for residents and improved quality of life, we will continue to do our best to spread the culture of proactive administration in the public service."
