Haenam-gun, Operation of Citizen Evaluation Group for Pledge Fulfillment

Election Pledge of the 8th Civilian Administration: "Practicing Together with the County Residents"

Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Myeong Hyeon-gwan) is operating a citizen evaluation group that allows residents to directly check the progress of the 8th term public election pledges.

According to the county on the 20th, the citizen evaluation group for pledge implementation consists of 30 residents randomly selected (via ARS) and interviewed by phone, considering gender, age, and region among residents aged 18 and over.

With evaluation meetings held three times a year, the first evaluation meeting was held on the 19th.

At the first meeting, after providing an overall education on the role of the evaluation group and the manifesto movement, subcommittees were formed and 25 adjustment agenda items were reviewed.

In the upcoming second meeting, explanations and Q&A sessions will be conducted by project managers, followed by deliberations within each subcommittee. The final third meeting is scheduled for the 16th of next month, where based on the subcommittee discussions, directions will be set according to the citizens' opinions on matters requiring adjustment.

The opinions derived through the citizen evaluation group will be actively reflected in county administration, and the final recommendations and acceptance status will be disclosed on the Haenam-gun website to fully fulfill promises made to the residents.

A county official stated, “The citizen evaluation group is significant in that it improves upon the previous expert-centered review method by conducting practical deliberations through the participation and discussion process of residents who feel the local issues most closely,” adding, “It is expected to enhance the tangible effects of pledge implementation through citizen participation and help promote transparent pledge fulfillment.”

Meanwhile, as of the 4th quarter of 2023, Haenam-gun shows a pledge implementation rate of 41.8% for the 8th term public election projects.
