Gyeonggi Province Named 'Best Institution' for Six Consecutive Years in Ministry of Health and Welfare’s Community Social Security Plan Evaluation

Gyeonggi Province has been selected as the 'Best' institution in the provincial category in the Ministry of Health and Welfare’s evaluation of the implementation of community social security plans. This marks the sixth consecutive year the province has received this recognition.

Gyeonggi Province was awarded the highest grade, 'Grand Prize,' for four consecutive years from 2020 to 2023, and has now been selected as the 'Best' institution for two consecutive years in 2024 and 2025.

The Ministry of Health and Welfare’s 'Evaluation of the Implementation of Community Social Security Plans' is a comprehensive assessment system for metropolitan and basic local governments nationwide. It evaluates the thoroughness of plans established to enhance residents’ welfare, the appropriateness of implementation processes, public-private cooperation, and overall performance.

Gyeonggi Province was particularly recognized for identifying and successfully implementing tailored welfare services in response to rapidly changing social environments and shifts in welfare paradigms. These include the 360-Degree Care Project, support for youth capacity building in Gyeonggi, and loan guarantees and interest support for low-income households’ jeonse deposits, all of which have been effectively established in the field for residents to experience tangible benefits.

Kim Hoon, Director of Welfare at Gyeonggi Province, stated, “Being selected as a top institution for six consecutive years is an objective acknowledgment that Gyeonggi Province’s welfare policies are among the best in the nation, and it is the result of our relentless efforts to enhance the welfare of our residents. We will continue to build a comprehensive and robust welfare safety net so that every resident can enjoy a happy life without exclusion.”

With this latest recognition, Gyeonggi Province plans to focus its policy capabilities next year on strengthening the regional protection system through pilot projects for establishing a Gyeonggi-style integrated care system and small-scale financial support projects for individuals with extremely low credit. The aim is to realize a welfare system in Gyeonggi with no blind spots.
