The road of nearly 100 million poor compatriots to shake off poverty and become rich has always affected the hearts of the people of the whole country. In 2014, China continued to increase investment and support to poor areas, reform the poverty alleviation mechanism, promote accurate poverty alleviation, and made remarkable progress in poverty alleviation through development.

Strengthen the ability of follow-up development by tackling key areas with special difficulties

In 2014, all localities and departments continued to increase investment in poverty-stricken areas, make every effort to improve the backwardness of poverty-stricken areas and enhance their capacity for follow-up development:

The Ministry of Transport has allocated more than 155 billion yuan to support the reconstruction and construction of expressways and ordinary provincial highways in 14 districts, 96000 kilometers of rural roads and 138projects of "changing bridges with sliding cables". To solve the problem of road patency in 93 towns and 10500 villages in the area.

At the same time, the input of special poverty alleviation funds has also maintained rapid growth, sending "life-saving money" and development "boosters" to the poor. In 2014, the central government allocated 43.3 billion yuan for poverty alleviation, an increase of 10 percent over the previous year. The provincial budgets of 28 provinces allocated 26.5 billion yuan for poverty alleviation, an increase of 27.3% over the previous year.

Mechanism reform to stimulate vitality poverty alleviation project "let a hundred flowers blossom"

In recent years, in the light of the actual situation of local resources and conditions, various localities have formulated poverty alleviation policies based on the needs of the poor masses. Poverty alleviation projects have blossomed with unlimited vitality:

Longnan, Gansu, where information is blocked and traffic is not smooth, has boarded the "information superhighway" express. In the past year or so, more than 5000 online stores have sprung up, and poor farmers have opened the way to get rid of poverty and become rich in the information age.

-- Shaanxi Province organized poverty alleviation and relocation projects for poor farmers living in areas without basic production and living conditions, and arranged for the relocation of 114300 households and 423500 people, so as to fundamentally "root out the poor."

Guangdong and Guangxi carry out a pilot project of cooperation in vocational education to make use of Guangdong's high-quality educational resources to train the newly growing labor force in poverty-stricken areas of Guangxi.

……

The innovative vitality emerging at the grass-roots level has something to do with the reform and innovation of the poverty alleviation mechanism. For a long time, the leading cadres of the party and government in poor areas of our country have been bound by GDP assessment. In 2014, the opinions on improving the Evaluation of the Economic and Social Development achievements of the Party and Government leading bodies and leading cadres in Poverty-stricken counties were formally promulgated, guiding the poor counties to focus their work on poverty alleviation and development. Some provinces and cities have also issued assessment measures for poverty alleviation work, taking improving the living standards of the poor and reducing the number of poverty-stricken people as the main indicators, effectively stimulating the vitality and motivation of poverty alleviation and development at the grass-roots level.

At the same time, the Poverty Alleviation Office of the State Council and other departments have also formulated the opinions on reforming the Management Mechanism of Financial Special Poverty Alleviation funds, established a results-oriented fund allocation mechanism, devolved the principle of project examination and approval to counties, strengthened the regulatory responsibilities of governments at the provincial and municipal levels, and promoted third-party supervision and poverty alleviation targets to participate in management, so as to make the use of poverty alleviation funds more accurate and reasonable.

Establish exclusive poverty files and make accurate efforts to "break" one by one.

How can we help poverty alleviation through development to the "point" and to the "root"? In 2014, China comprehensively promoted poverty identification and filing and setting up cards, laying a solid foundation for accurate poverty alleviation strategies.

Liu Yongfu, director of the Poverty Alleviation Office of the State Council, said that the establishment of files and cards for poor households is the "No. 1 project" of poverty alleviation and development work in 2014. Up to now, the work of establishing archives and setting up cards has been completed in an all-round way. a total of 128000 poor villages and more than 88 million poor people have been identified across the country, which have been recorded into the poverty alleviation business management system for standardized management and dynamic adjustment.

On this basis, in combination with the second batch of the Party's mass line education and practical activities, various localities have comprehensively deployed the work of cadres stationed in villages to help the poor people shake off poverty and become rich. According to statistics, at present, various localities have sent 125000 task forces and 430000 cadres to poor villages, basically achieving full coverage of poor villages.

The Poverty Alleviation Office of the State Council has also put cadres stationed in villages to help, vocational education and training, poverty alleviation and micro-credit, poverty alleviation in different places, e-commerce poverty alleviation, tourism poverty alleviation, photovoltaic poverty alleviation, entrepreneurial training for leaders in getting rich, and leading enterprises as precise poverty alleviation projects. all localities are encouraged to take the needs of the masses out of poverty as the first signal, find the right way out of poverty, formulate development plans, take measures according to local conditions, implement policies according to village conditions, and apply laws according to households.
