On the Significance and Measures for Effectively Aligning the Consolidation of the Achievements in Poverty Alleviation with Rural Revitalization—a case study of Halu Village in Lüchun County, Yunnan Province

Abstract

The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the State Council have assessed the situation and made sound decisions to further consolidate and expand the achievements of poverty alleviation and to successively promote the development of poverty-alleviated areas and comprehensive rural revitalization. In order to ensure that the “relay baton” of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization is handed over successfully, the No. 1 Central Document has clearly proposed to set up a 5-year transition period from the date of poverty alleviation, maintain the overall structure of the existing major supportive policies, give poverty-alleviated counties a leg up to get them going. The government will continue to consolidate poverty alleviation’s achievements, promote comprehensive rural vitalization, strengthen assistance for low-income rural residents on a regular basis, and gradually realize a smooth transition from concentrated support for poverty alleviation to the comprehensive promotion of rural revitalization. [1]The purpose of effectively aligning the consolidation of the achievements of poverty alleviation with rural revitalization is to help rural areas to secure the achievements of poverty alleviation, prevent the reoccurrence of poverty for those who had been lifted out and diminish the effectiveness of poverty alleviation, and further transfer the battle of poverty alleviation to the battlefield of rural revitalization and achieve a good alignment.
