POVERTY REDUCTION BRIEFING 2013-IX

1. New ways of poverty relief and development: dreams have come true for thousands of people in Chaotian District.
Guided by the principle of “integrating industries with new villages, coordinating urban-rural development, highlighting local characteristics and encouraging contiguous area development”, the government of Chaotian District in the city of
Guangyuan, Sichuan Province has been promoting contiguous area development in its poverty relief efforts over the past two years. New ways of relocating the rural poor have been explored based on the idea of “starting with difficult ones with clearly definedtargets, tailoring the policy to specific households, promoting concentrated settlement in newly-reclaimed land, and shaking off poverty through industries.” The government has been focusing its efforts on developing human resources and improving the quality of the impoverished. To this end, plans for labor training and transfer have been made to improve the rural labor service transfer network.
