Gapyeong County was highly evaluated at this competition for incorporating gender impact assessments throughout the entire operation process of the Happy Village Management Center, thereby contributing to the creation of a gender-equal policy environment. The gender impact assessment is a system designed to analyze the impact and differences based on gender during the policy implementation process, improve factors causing gender discrimination, and foster a gender-equal policy environment. This year’s competition was hosted by Gyeonggi Province and the Gyeonggi Women and Family Foundation, with ten organizations that passed the first round of document screening presenting their best practices.

Gapyeong County established a system to strengthen gender sensitivity across all stages of operating the Happy Village Management Center by incorporating gender statistics analysis and gender sensitivity training, developing unique projects that consider gender characteristics, and organizing mixed-gender teams for the guardian workforce.

As a result, the county was recognized for effectively integrating a gender-equal perspective into everyday public services, such as resolving daily inconveniences and supporting vulnerable groups.

In particular, by analyzing gender-specific usage patterns and needs in daily public services such as resolving inconveniences and supporting vulnerable groups, and reflecting these findings in policy improvements, the gender impact assessment was acknowledged as a model case of practical application in administrative settings.

A Gapyeong County official stated, "This Excellence Award recognizes Gapyeong County’s achievements in actively incorporating gender equality elements into community-based public services," adding, "We will continue to strengthen the gender perspective across all county administration and further expand gender-equal policies that residents can truly experience."
