Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) received the highest grade, 'SA,' in the '2024 Nationwide Evaluation of Local Government Heads' Pledge Fulfillment and Information Disclosure' conducted by the Korea Manifesto Practice Headquarters.


This evaluation was conducted over approximately three months to conduct a mid-term review of the election pledge fulfillment performance of 226 city, county, and district local government heads nationwide. It focused on five key areas: ▲ pledge fulfillment completion ▲ achievement of 2023 goals ▲ resident communication ▲ web communication ▲ pledge consistency.


Gwangjin-gu scored over 83 out of 100 points, achieving the highest grade, 'SA,' for two consecutive years since the launch of the 8th local government term. It achieved a 48% pledge fulfillment rate in the second year of the 8th local government term, receiving a higher evaluation than the national average for local governments (34%) and the average for Seoul autonomous districts (45%). In particular, it was recognized for accurately disclosing the status of financial resources secured for pledge fulfillment.


The district has strengthened resident participation by introducing a resident jury system in the pledge implementation planning and execution process, and based on open communication, it is faithfully implementing 92 pledge projects across six major areas: ▲ balanced development ▲ win-win welfare ▲ economic vitality ▲ culture and education ▲ safety and environment ▲ open communication.



Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, “I am pleased that our efforts to fulfill promises to residents have led to good results,” and added, “We will continue to communicate with residents and do our best to ensure that the pledge projects of the 8th local government term proceed smoothly.”
