Celebrating 60 Years of LOGODI: Innovation for the Next Century

The Local Government Officials Development Institute (LOGODI) marked its 60th anniversary with a special ceremony joined by government leaders, local residents, and international partners.

Since its establishment in 1965, LOGODI has trained more than 350,000 officials, serving as Korea’s leading hub for local government capacity building.

The celebration also featured the 7th LOGODI Global Forum 2025, bringing together leaders of training institutes from 10 countries, training institutes of Korea’s local governments, and the diplomatic corps in Korea.

Under the theme “Designing for Impact: Government HRD Reset,” participants discussed how civil service training can adapt to digital transformation and more performance-driven governance.

Delegates joined the seminar with Jeonbuk National University and visited Jeonju City Government to observe AI-based public services in action.

Yun Hojung, the Minister of the Interior and Safety emphasized the significance of this milestone: “It is deeply meaningful to celebrate the 60th anniversary of LOGODI in the same year that marks 30 years of local autonomy in Korea. LOGODI, as the nation’s center for local government training, will continue to nurture regional talents based on strong public values and support the realization of an AI-driven democratic government.” This vision was highlighted through an AI-generated declaration, symbolizing LOGODI’s commitment to innovation in the digital age.

LOGODI reaffirmed its role as a platform for knowledge-sharing and global cooperation in public HRD, looking ahead to the next 100 years.
