Haenam-gun Selected as an Excellent Institution for 'Proactive Administration' Two Years in a Row

Leading in Jeonnam by County, Notable Active Administration Achievements with High Resident Satisfaction

Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do, was selected as an excellent institution for two consecutive years in the 2023 Comprehensive Evaluation of Active Administration for Local Governments, hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

According to the county on the 15th, the Comprehensive Evaluation of Active Administration for Local Governments is conducted annually nationwide targeting metropolitan and basic local governments to promote ‘active administration,’ which departs from traditionally repeated administrative practices and actively handles tasks based on creativity and expertise.

Out of 243 local governments nationwide, a total of 72 institutions, including 5 metropolitan areas and cities, counties, and districts, were selected as excellent institutions in the top 30%.

In particular, Haenam-gun was recognized for remarkable active administration achievements by ranking first in Jeollanam-do and third nationwide among 25 excellent county-level local governments.

To foster a proactive public service community in the 8th elected term, Haenam-gun established an execution plan at the beginning of the year and is promoting active administration by identifying key tasks focused on resident-experienced issues such as long-term unresolved departmental tasks and regulatory relief.

The pediatric night medical care system project, selected as a key task last year, received high praise by resolving the inconvenience of pediatric and adolescent patients who had to travel to large cities for treatment due to the lack of night medical institutions, winning the grand prize at the 2023 Jeollanam-do Active Administration Best Practice Competition.

The county also received high marks for the institution head’s will and efforts to activate active administration among public officials. The county is establishing a public service culture where all employees can practice active administration by implementing an active administration mileage reward system and selecting outstanding active administration public officials to provide incentives.

County Governor Myeong Hyeon-gwan said, “The achievement of being selected as an excellent institution is very meaningful as it signifies that a proactive public service community is taking root,” and added, “We will continue to do our best so that residents can feel the changes in the public service community through active and creative administration.”
