Gyeonggi Province Expands Resident-Evaluated "Responsibility Contract" to 19 Public Institutions

Gyeonggi Province has signed the 2025 Responsibility Contract with 19 public institutions under its jurisdiction, adding resident-centered projects such as "Care and Medical Services Anytime, Anywhere" and the "Economy Revival Go Project."

The Responsibility Contract is a system in which projects that residents can tangibly experience are identified, with a commitment to deliver results to the residents, and then evaluated the following year.

Gyeonggi Province introduced and has been operating the Responsibility Contract since 2023 to emphasize the accountability and role of public institutions that have a significant impact on residents' lives, and to ensure tangible project outcomes.

Gyeonggi Province expanded the program from 14 institutions and 10 projects last year to 19 institutions and 14 projects this year. In addition to the 10 projects selected last year, four new resident-centered projects related to key provincial policies such as the local economy, future industries, and care services have been identified this year. The province aims to promote collaboration and innovation among institutions and deliver visible results.

The four additional projects are: ▲ "Care and Medical Services Anytime, Anywhere," which provides nighttime and holiday care programs for people with disabilities and home-visit medical services for residents; ▲ the "Economy Revival Go Project," which includes large-scale sales events for traditional markets and local commercial districts, as well as the Gyeonggi Small Business Support Go Card, which can be used by small business owners for operating expenses; ▲ the "Future Talent Development Project," which supports regionally innovative universities (RISE) to foster core talent for advanced industries and operates semiconductor classes for middle and high school students; and ▲ the "On-Demand Tourism and School Bus Project," which expands and reorganizes the existing on-demand Tok Bus service.

In addition, Gyeonggi Province will announce in May the evaluation results for the 10 projects conducted last year, based on achievement of goals, expert assessments, and the results of a public opinion survey among Gyeonggi residents. Depending on the evaluation results, outstanding institutions will receive incentives such as preferential treatment in management evaluations and commendations.

At the meeting of public institution heads held on April 16, Kim Sungjung, First Vice Governor of Gyeonggi Province, said, "Gyeonggi Province is taking the lead in ensuring that public institutions deliver results that residents can truly feel through its unique Responsibility Contract system," and added, "I ask that you continue to actively pursue projects through inter-institutional collaboration in 2025 so that residents can experience real change and tangible results."
