Starting June 15, the Ministry will begin a public nomination process for candidates for the "Second Special Performance Award." A banner for public nominations has been created on the Ministry's website, allowing citizens to recommend public officials who have implemented excellent policies at any time.
Additionally, a "three-stage public participation evaluation model" will be introduced, moving away from traditional assessment methods. The new evaluation process will consist of three stages: public empathy voting, in-depth verification, and a public audition.
In the first stage, the public will participate in a "public empathy vote" to review and select from all submitted candidate projects. To help citizens better understand the policies, performance data will be visualized, and initial rankings will be based on the number of votes received.
Once the initial rankings are established, the projects that pass this first stage will undergo "in-depth verification" conducted by external experts and internal managers.
The final candidate projects, after undergoing verification, will participate in a "public audition." The ultimate winners will be selected based on real-time voting from on-site evaluation panels, including the Budget Citizen Participation Group, the press corps, and a youth advisory group, as well as online voting from the general public.
A Ministry official stated, "To foster continuous motivation and a culture of innovation, we will provide not only monetary rewards but also preferential treatment in personnel evaluations for the winners. We plan to expand the special award system to establish a dynamic organizational culture."
In April, the Ministry held the first special performance award ceremony, selecting seven award-winning projects and distributing a total of 10 million won in prizes.
