통합국정평가제도의 필요성과 구축방안

Abstract

In Korean government, various evaluation systems are being managed by many departments and agencies causing a lot of problems. Therefore, it is demanded to establish the Integrated Public Service Evaluation System(IPSES) that organically connects and integrates many evaluation systems operated disjointedly and increases synergy effects by linking to the other government management innovations. The basic directions for establishing IPSES include the guarantee of autonomy, the assurance of accountability, the enhancement of transparency, and the maximization of performance and strengthening of competitiveness. The basic principles of IPSES are the decentralization of control by the central government, the strengthening of evaluation capacity, the disclosure of the results of self evaluation, and the principle of rewards on performance. In order to realize the IPSES in practice, "The Basic Government Evaluation Act" needs to be enacted that integrates and coordinates many government evaluation systems that are disjointed, the existing control-oriented evaluation methods should be changed to self-evaluation method, and the integrated performance management system based on performance management plan and review mechanism needs to be established. In addition, it is necessary to reinvent the overall government evaluation infrastructure including the government evaluation committee that is mandated to plan and coordinate government-wide evaluation, the general evaluation council that confirms and reviews the results of self-evaluation, and the self-evaluation committees that directly evaluate policies and programs in each department.
