The grassland bonus policy introduces the third-party evaluation mechanism for the first time.

This year marks the end of the first cycle of the implementation of the grassland supplementary award policy. the design of this policy is not in line with the reality of grassland pastoral areas. what is the implementation situation, what are the results achieved, and what are the problems? Recently, a symposium on grassland replenishment policy evaluation was held in Xining, Qinghai Province, and a third-party evaluation research mechanism was introduced for the first time.

Since 2013, with the strong support of the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Agriculture has entrusted six units, including the grassland Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the Chinese Grass Society, Beijing Forestry University, Southwest University for nationalities, Inner Mongolia grassland Survey and Planning Institute and Xinjiang Autonomous region grassland General Station. Research on the evaluation of grassland award policy was carried out in Northeast North China, central and eastern Inner Mongolia, Mengganning arid region, northern Xinjiang and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

After more than two years, various evaluation units have conducted multi-level investigations and studies on counties, villages and pastoral households, and finally formed a research report on the effectiveness of grassland award policy. At the forum, the six evaluation units agreed that since the implementation of the grassland supplementary award policy, the degree of recognition of the implementation of the policy by farmers and herdsmen is very high, and the grassland ecology in the implementation area has been significantly improved; however, there are also some problems, such as low subsidy standards, weak industrial development, insufficient security strength, and so on.

It is understood that the third-party evaluation and research mechanism has handed over the evaluation work directly operated by grassland administrative departments in the past to social institutions such as teaching, scientific research, and technology popularization, realizing the separation of management and evaluation, and diluting the administrative color of evaluation. the results are more objective and fair, more scientific and credible.
