Eunpyeong-gu (District Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) announced that it received the "Excellence Award" in the "Seoul Metropolitan Government 2023 Autonomous District Companion Center Operation Performance Evaluation," reaffirming its status as a leading autonomous district in welfare administration.

The evaluation was conducted on 25 autonomous districts for projects implemented over 10 months from March 1 to December 31, 2023. Scores were totaled based on the point allocation criteria for 22 indicators across 9 items in 3 fields: general management, welfare, and health. Eunpyeong-gu significantly exceeded the average score of all districts and received the Excellence Award.
In the general management field, the evaluation indicators included ▲welfare officer training ▲personnel allocation ▲self-driven performance of outstanding Companion Center projects; in the welfare field, ▲discovery of welfare blind spots ▲monitoring of welfare recipients ▲Seoul-type basic security ▲emergency welfare support ▲integrated case management and cooperation system establishment; and in the health field, ▲discovery of health-vulnerable groups ▲management of high-risk health groups ▲specialized home health care projects, all of which received high scores.
Kim Mi-kyung, Mayor of Eunpyeong-gu, stated, “We are honored to have achieved excellent results in the first year of the Companion Center’s reorganization, where various welfare policies and best practices from 25 autonomous districts competed in a fair evaluation.” She added, “We will continue to strive to build a welfare policy without socially isolated neighbors and a resident-centered welfare system that provides practical help when needed.”
