The Local Government Disability Welfare Project Evaluation is a system that comprehensively assesses the efforts and achievements of local governments nationwide to establish a support system for disability welfare services. Its purpose is also to improve the level of disability welfare by identifying best practices and developing new policies.

This year's evaluation targeted 229 local governments across the country and covered four self-assessment areas and 12 items: support for independent living for people with disabilities, support for disability services, the disability welfare delivery system, and best practices. Of these, 20 local governments were ultimately selected for recognition.

Yangpyeong County was honored with the Grand Prize for the second consecutive year, following its award in 2024, in recognition of its efforts to expand and develop new projects for people with disabilities. This award is particularly meaningful as Yangpyeong County received the highest evaluation among the 31 cities and counties.

Jeon Jinseon, Governor of Yangpyeong County, stated, "This Grand Prize is the result of Yangpyeong County's leadership in advancing disability welfare," and added, "We will continue to do our utmost to create an environment where people with and without disabilities can live together without discrimination."
