87% of 100 Promises from Jeonnam Province's 8th Elected Administration Being Properly Implemented

It has been revealed that 87% of the 100 pledges made by the 8th-term Governor of Jeollanam-do are being implemented normally.

On the 19th, the province held the '2023 Second Half Citizen Evaluation Group Regular Meeting' to share the evaluation results of excellent provincial projects and to check the status of pledge fulfillment.

This is to guarantee the citizens' opportunity to participate in provincial administration and to increase transparency in policy implementation.

The Citizen Evaluation Group holds regular meetings once every half year to check the status of fulfillment of the 100 major pledges promised to the citizens during the 8th term, conducts on-site evaluations of key projects promoted by the province, and provides policy suggestions across the entire provincial administration.

The meeting proceeded in the order of ▲report on the evaluation results of major provincial projects in 2023 ▲report on the progress of the 8th-term governor’s pledges ▲report, discussion, and confirmation of changes to the pledge implementation plan.

The evaluation of major provincial projects was conducted on 28 projects (4 projects per subcommittee) selected by the 7 subcommittees of the Citizen Evaluation Group from among 62 major projects submitted by each department. From August to October, the evaluation group conducted on-site evaluations and finally selected 9 excellent projects.

The 8th-term governor’s pledges are being promoted with 8 fields, 20 strategic tasks, and 100 implementation tasks confirmed. As of the end of November, the status check of the 8th-term pledge implementation showed 10 completed, 1 not yet due, 77 normally progressing, and 12 partially progressing, resulting in a normal progress rate of 87%.

At this meeting, after in-depth discussions by the Citizen Evaluation Group regarding 12 cases where changes to the pledges were inevitable due to external policy conditions and changes in the administrative environment, the implementation plan changes were finalized.

Song Kyunghwan, head of the evaluation group, said, “Various discussions and debates were held from the citizens’ perspective regarding the pledges and provincial issues,” and added, “The Citizen Evaluation Group will continue to support the successful promotion of provincial administration.”

The 1st Citizen Evaluation Group of the 8th term was composed of 98 members across 7 subcommittees according to the ‘Ordinance on the Composition and Operation of the Jeollanam-do Citizen Evaluation Group.’ The term lasts for 2 years until November 2024.

Governor Kim Youngrok said, “I am grateful to the Citizen Evaluation Group for their many activities as a strong partner of the provincial administration and as representatives of the citizens,” and added, “I hope you will also gather strength and wisdom to attract a medical school, which is a long-cherished wish of the 2 million citizens.”

Jeollanam-do plans to actively reflect the policy suggestions of the Citizen Evaluation Group in provincial administration going forward.
