[Suwon Ilbo=Kim Kap-dong] Two public institutions, Gyeonggi Economic Science Promotion Agency (GESPA) and Gyeonggi Credit Guarantee Foundation (GCGF), received the top grade of "B" in Gyeonggi Province's "Public Institution and Executive Performance Evaluation for Last Year."

On the 16th, the province completed deliberation and resolution by the Gyeonggi Province Invested/Contributed Institution Operating Deliberation Committee, and announced the results of the 2024 (2023 performance) Gyeonggi Province public institution and executive performance evaluation on the 25th.

This evaluation emphasized innovative project implementation results reflecting provincial policy values and efforts, as well as the social responsibility of public institutions, including RE100 achievement levels and best practices in addressing population issues.

As a result of the evaluation, among the 5 grades (A to E), no institutions received grades A, D, or E, while 7 institutions received B grade and 11 institutions received C grade.

Seven institutions including Gyeonggi Economic Science Promotion Agency, which was highly evaluated for promoting 27 innovation projects such as establishing a G-fund Gyeonggi-style model and "paperless administration," and Gyeonggi Youth Employment Foundation, which received recognition for promoting 9 intensive innovation projects including improving work efficiency through digital work platform public My Data utilization and Gyeonggi youth gap year projects, received B grade. On the other hand, among the 11 C-grade institutions, Gyeonggi Marketplace Promotion Agency received insufficient evaluation in the major business performance sector.

Four institutions showed grade changes compared to the previous year. Gyeonggi Lifelong Education Promotion Institute and Gyeonggi Content Promotion Agency upgraded from C grade to B grade, and Gyeonggi Marketplace Promotion Agency moved up one grade from D grade to C grade. Gyeonggi Art Center downgraded from B grade to C grade, while other institutions showed no grade changes.

The evaluation of invested and contributed institution executives was conducted for current and former executives of 24 institutions, excluding those who worked for less than 3 months based on last year. Six executives including those from Gyeonggi Youth Employment Foundation and Next-Generation Convergence Technology Research Institute received B grade, 10 executives including those from Gyeonggi Agricultural and Fisheries Promotion Agency and Gyeonggi Art Center received C grade, and 2 executives from Korean Ceramic Foundation and Gyeonggi Marketplace Promotion Agency received D grade. Evaluation results for 4 local public corporation presidents including Gyeonggi Housing and Urban Development Corporation and executives from Gyeonggi Social Service Agency and Gyeonggi Medical Center will be finalized after reflecting central government ministry (Ministry of Interior and Safety, Ministry of Health and Welfare) evaluation results.

Based on this evaluation result, the province plans to take follow-up measures such as warnings against D-grade or lower institution executives, and will evaluate the implementation performance next year for institutional management improvement tasks assigned through the evaluation. Additionally, institutions and executives rated C grade or higher may receive performance bonuses within budget limits.

Previously, the province formed an evaluation team of 29 members including professors and certified public accountants as private experts. Subsequently, from March to June, the province evaluated the 2023 annual management performance of 18 Gyeonggi Province invested and contributed institutions through written reviews and on-site evaluations for each institution.

The province plans to continuously monitor the efforts and performance of each institution so that public institutions can create tangible results for provincial residents and contribute to solving social issues such as responses to low birth rates and climate crises, based on efficient and transparent management.
