The Effective Linkage of Consolidating and Expanding the Achievements in Poverty Alleviation with Rural Revitalization: Progress, Problems and Suggestions

To promote rural revitalization on the basis of consolidating and expanding the achievements in poverty alleviation after fulfillment of the objectives and tasks of poverty alleviation, it requires not only a smooth transformation of the working system, but a the transfer and continuity of micro policies. As the local practice shows, since the focus of the “tri-agriculture†work has shifted, the local governments have carefully implemented the decisions and deployments of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC). In terms of the leadership system, system design, institutional teams, assessment mechanism and financial support, they have registered positive progress in the effective linkage of consolidating and expanding the achievements in poverty alleviation with rural revitalization. Meanwhile, they have been confronted in practice with the problems and difficulties of inadequate cognition of the effective linkage of the two strategies, incompatibilities of the responsibilities and capabilities of the departments at all levels, insufficient consideration of regional discrepancies, weak program guidance and assessmenting and openness to optimization of the poverty-alleviating assets management and utilization. It is advised to further deepen the cognition of linkage promotion, clarify the leadership system and assignment of responsibilities, differentiate the tempo and direction of linkage, strengthen the planning leadership and assessment application, and optimize the poverty-alleviating assets management and utilization mechanism to implement the effective linkage of the two strategies.
