It evaluates anti-corruption efforts of cities and counties through three categories and 13 indicators related to anti-corruption and integrity, including efforts to implement anti-corruption policies and raising awareness of anti-corruption systems.

This year, Haenam-gun operated a ‘Clean Page’ that guides reporting of irregularities and established a system where anyone can report cases of lack of integrity through an anonymous reporting phone line.

In addition, the county promoted various anti-corruption policies such as healthy holiday campaigns and wearing integrity name tags to encourage the spread of external integrity culture. It also focused on establishing an internal integrity culture through department-specific specialized integrity policies, strengthening integrity education by holding Integrity Golden Bell events, and implementing policies such as public officials’ integrity pledge.

In particular, by expanding cultural-type education such as integrity plays and integrity live concerts, and opening participation to public officials from related local institutions, the county saved budget and greatly enhanced the effectiveness of integrity education through sharing high-quality education. The joint integrity education with related institutions was evaluated to have laid the foundation for a virtuous cycle of integrity, where the strengthened integrity capabilities of public officials in Haenam-gun return as benefits to residents.

A county official said, “This award is the result of prioritizing integrity as the highest value and the efforts of all public officials to establish a transparent and honest public service culture,” and added, “We will continue to strive to create a public service society trusted by residents and to establish an integrity culture.”
