Daegu Gunwi-gun Achieves Grade 1 in 'Public Institution Comprehensive Integrity'

Gunwi County, Daegu City (County Governor Kim Jin-yeol) announced on the 19th that it has achieved a Grade 1 rating for the first time in the 2024 Comprehensive Integrity Evaluation of Public Institutions conducted by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission.

Following a Grade 2 rating last year, Gunwi County advanced to the highest integrity grade this year by obtaining a Grade 1 rating. This evaluation measured the 'Integrity Perception,' which reflects the corruption awareness and experiences felt by residents and employees during internal and external work processes, and the 'Integrity Effort,' which assesses the institution’s anti-corruption initiatives and achievements over the past year. Gunwi County received excellent evaluations in both areas, proving the effectiveness of its integrity policies. Notably, it scored the highest in the category of the institution head’s interest and efforts.

This achievement is significant as only 8 out of 226 basic local governments nationwide received a Grade 1 rating, representing just 3.5% of the total. Furthermore, Gunwi County is the only basic local government in the Daegu-Gyeongbuk region to have attained this top grade, adding even greater meaning to the accomplishment.

This success marks the first in the history of Gunwi County administration and is largely attributed to the strong leadership of County Governor Kim Jin-yeol and the implementation of various integrity policies since the launch of the 8th local government. Gunwi County was the first local government in Daegu and Gyeongbuk to obtain the Anti-Corruption Management System (ISO 37001) certification and has maintained it since. The county is spreading an integrity culture through diverse policies such as the Integrity Real-Name Challenge, the Visiting Integrity Talk Talk Talk, and the Integrity Junior Board Empathy Forum.

County Governor Kim Jin-yeol emphasized, “Achieving the Grade 1 integrity rating for the first time in Gunwi County is the result of the consistent efforts of all public officials, positively recognized by the residents. We will continue to strengthen integrity policies, and I hope all Gunwi County employees will take pride in their work.”

Gunwi County plans to use this integrity evaluation as an opportunity to realize more transparent and trustworthy administration and will continue to strive to create a happy Gunwi for its residents.
