Approaches to Eradicate Absolute Poverty in Guangdong Province, the People’s Republic of China
Wu, Jinhua | December 2021
Abstract
This case study focuses on measures adopted by Guangdong Province to enhance the efficacy and efficiency of spending programs for poverty alleviation until the end of 2020, when the province achieved the eradication of absolute poverty. First, a diversified approach to poverty alleviation was followed. Second, financing was allocated for industrial development projects. Third, poverty reduction measures included training for self-development. Fourth, targeted poverty reduction was linked with rural revitalization. Last, poverty reduction funds were closely supervised to ensure transparency. The challenge remains on how the gains from absolute poverty eradication and rural revitalization will address relative poverty.
