Gyeonggi Province Selected as Excellent Organization in Ministry of Interior's 'Active Administration Comprehensive Evaluation'

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Kim Gab-dong] Gyeonggi Province announced on the 25th that it has been selected as an 'Excellent Organization' in the Ministry of Interior and Safety's '2024 Local Government Active Administration Comprehensive Evaluation.'

The 'Active Administration Comprehensive Evaluation' is an assessment conducted annually targeting central administrative agencies and local governments across the nation. The Active Administration Comprehensive Evaluation Panel, composed of the general public and private experts, evaluates each organization's efforts to promote active administration, and based on the results, the Ministry of Interior and Safety selects excellent organizations.

The Province was recognized for its active promotion achievements in various fields including △Governor's active administration performance results △promotion of active administration among local public institutions △operation of active administration support systems (Active Administration Committee, preliminary consulting, litigation support for active administration public officials), and others.

In particular, the Children's Care Opportunity Income, implemented for the first time in the nation, received an 'Excellent' evaluation from the Public Evaluation Panel. This project aims to create a care culture where local communities raise children together. It is an active administration example that provides 100,000 to 200,000 won per month in cash depending on performance when volunteers in self-organized communities in neighborhoods provide joint childcare and childcare through talent donation.

From July to December of last year, approximately 76 village communities participated in this project over about five months, with around 600 people receiving opportunity income, and approximately 11,140 children benefiting from care. As a result, children were able to receive care in a safe environment, parents experienced reduced burden in economic activities, and community participants had their childcare activities recognized, establishing itself as a mutually beneficial care model satisfying all residents.

The Province stated, "This selection as an excellent organization is the result of all staff members' collective efforts, and the fruition of continuous contemplation and practice to realize active administration centered on the needs of residents," and added, "Going forward, through bold and creative active administration initiatives, we will spread the culture of active administration throughout the organization and create changes that residents can feel."
