Good Practices and InnovATIONS in Public Governance level. For instance, citizens in Fez are voicing their needs to benefit from a similar electronically enabled service delivery in the remaining 33 Vital Records Office (Bureau d’Etat Civil – BEC). BEC employees and officers are requesting e-Fez be extended to other offices. There is a growing interest in ICT projects among Morocco’s decision makers at the city levels. An increasing number of decision makers in several cities of the Kingdom have approached the research team to replicate the system adopted in Fez in order to make their Vital Records Office electronically accesible by all. The success of eFez is sending a positive message across the country, i.e., that building an e-government system in any Moroccan city is easy and beneficial to all. The eFez project was acknowledged at the national level and awarded with the prestigious prize “eMtiaz 2006” as best e-government project in Morocco. It also received the Technology in Government in Africa (TIFA) Awards in May 2007. 310
2007 Category 2: Republic of Korea Asia and the Pacific Republic of Korea 2007 Category 2 Winner Korea Immigration Smart Service (KISS) Ministry of Justice, Republic of Korea Description Making immigration processes easier, faster and more secure through a new automated and integrated immigration system. Summary The Korea Immigration Smart Service (KISS) is an innovative new immigration clearance service, which has successfully transformed the immigration work system, its processes, as well as the overall service quality. The Problem The outstanding economic growth of Korea has brought about a great increase in the number of passengers who enter and depart from Korea. Today, this number reaches around 100,000 visitors per day. This being the case, passengers inevitably spent much time going through the passport and visa inspection process. Immigration offices were not organized in a way that allowed for easy communication between the Entry and Exit Immigration Divisions, which caused frustration among immigration officials and delays for passengers. Customers spent a large amount of time lining up for immigration clearance at the airports. The complicated process and unfriendly attitude of immigration officers became the chief customer complaint. These were the main barriers that kept the Korean immigration clearance service from reaching high customer satisfaction. As this was the case, an innovative management system was required to effectively cope with the increase of passengers and to deliver a good quality immigration clearance service. The Solution To solve this issue, the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) decided to develop an innovative immigration clearance service to satisfy customers and promote a more positive image of the country. The initiative was called the “Korea Immigration Smart Service (KISS)”. As a result, innovations were introduced in the organisation, work system, process and service quality of the immigration system. The Ministry of Justice’s Korean Immigration Department is responsible for visa issuance, border management and residence services. The ministry’s service brand KISS, represented by the friendly image of a Korean traditional mask, was created 311
