Gyeonggi Province Receives Top 'SA Grade' in Manifesto Promise Implementation Plan Evaluation

Gyeonggi Province has been selected as the local government that best prepared its promise implementation plan in the comprehensive evaluation of promise fulfillment.

According to the evaluation results of the Sixth Popular Mandate provincial governors' promise implementation plans (manuals) announced by the Korea Manifesto Practice Board on the 7th, Gyeonggi Province received the highest grade of SA alongside Seoul, Daegu, Gangwon Province, South Chungcheong Province, and Jeju Special Self-Governing Province.

The Korea Manifesto Evaluation Team conducted absolute evaluations from February onwards targeting leaders of 17 provincial and municipal governments across the nation across five areas: ▲overall composition, ▲individual composition, ▲citizen communication, ▲web communication, and ▲promise alignment, with a total of 100 points. Local governments with a combined total score exceeding 90 points in the five major areas were classified as SA, with grades ranging from SA to D, comprising five levels in total.

Meanwhile, the province presented 'Gyeonggi Province with Abundant Jobs, Safety, and Warmth' as its vision in this Sixth Popular Mandate promise implementation plan.

Subsequently, it included 109 promises across six major areas: ▲citizen happiness, ▲transportation, ▲reunification, ▲safety and respect for life, ▲welfare community, and ▲jobs.

The Korea Manifesto Practice Board evaluated Governor Nam Kyung-puk, who prepared the province's promise implementation plan, stating that "it was noteworthy that parts of rival candidates' promises presented during the election process were incorporated and implemented as policy for coalition governance."

It continued, "The measures for creating safe villages, the introduction of semi-public bus system operation, and railway network expansion were analyzed as partially incorporating points raised as supplementary considerations during the election process," and added, "At the same time, university student mentoring programs for low-income children centered on character education rather than academic achievement is an initiative expected to yield results."
