Bucheon City Receives Top Grade in 2025 Pledge Implementation and Information Disclosure Evaluation

Bucheon City in Gyeonggi Province announced on May 16 that it received the highest grade (SA) in the '2025 National Basic Local Government Heads' Pledge Implementation and Information Disclosure Evaluation'.

In particular, the city has received the highest grade for four consecutive years in pledge-related evaluations since the launch of the 8th popularly elected administration.

This evaluation was conducted by the Korea Manifesto Implementation Headquarters and targeted basic local governments nationwide. The evaluation assessed five categories: completion of pledge implementation, achievement of 2024 goals, resident communication, web communication, and consistency. Each category was evaluated based on detailed indicators, and local governments were classified into six grades (SA, A, B, C, D, F) on a 100-point scale.

Bucheon City received high marks for transparently managing its pledges by disclosing the implementation status, inspection results, and adjustment details on the city’s website, as well as by operating a citizen evaluation group for pledge implementation to gather diverse opinions.

A city official stated, "This evaluation is the result of transparent administrative management and communication," and added, "We will continue to increase the implementation rate of our projects through systematic pledge management and citizen participation."
