Why "poverty alleviation must first help wisdom, and poverty alleviation must first be treated"

Helping the poor first helps the wise, and treating the poor first cures the foolish.

The Central Committee of China and the State Council recently issued a decision on winning the battle against poverty. "Decision" * * * eight items and 33 articles. The "Decision" emphasizes that China's poverty alleviation and development has entered a sprint period of biting hard bones and attacking villages. To achieve the set goal of lifting more than 70 million rural poor people out of poverty by 2020, time is very urgent and the task is quite arduous. We must constantly innovate the ideas and methods of poverty alleviation and development on the existing basis and resolutely win this tough battle.

Poverty alleviation is almost an important "topic" for democratic parties to participate in state affairs and social services. The research team led by Gu Shengzu, vice chairman of the Central Committee of the Democratic National Construction Association, has conducted many research activities related to poverty alleviation in Qinghai, Hebei and Hubei this year. Facing the new situation and new problems of poverty alleviation and development, they constantly offer suggestions.

The "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period is the last five years of building a well-off society in an all-round way. At present, there are more than 70 million poor people in China. Poverty-stricken areas and poor people are the biggest "shortcomings" and weak links in the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way in the 13 th Five-Year Plan, and poverty alleviation work has entered a critical stage of "gnawing hard bones". According to the investigation of Wuling mountain area, Yanshan-Taihang mountain area, Liupanshan mountain area and western Yunnan border mountain area, we put forward the following five suggestions for poverty alleviation in the 13 th Five-Year Plan:

Improve the system and mechanism of poverty alleviation work and increase investment in poverty alleviation.

Promote governments at all levels to increase investment in social undertakings such as infrastructure, rural education, medical care and health care in poverty-stricken areas, realize the mechanism of multiplying special funds, and build a new pattern of "great poverty alleviation" in which various forces and models such as special poverty alleviation, benefiting farmers, industrial poverty alleviation and poverty alleviation from all walks of life are organically combined and mutually supported. It is necessary to rationally divide the central and local poverty alleviation powers, integrate various poverty alleviation resources, change the phenomenon of "fragmentation", integrate the use of funds, form a joint force, and improve the effectiveness of poverty alleviation work. Build a poverty alleviation management system including poverty alleviation, transportation, education, health, environmental protection and other departments to form a joint management force. It is necessary to increase the general transfer payment of the central government, gradually resolve the debt burden of counties, cities and towns, cancel the matching of funds arranged by the central government for public welfare projects and public service projects, and let poor areas "go into battle lightly." Strengthen public services, upgrade the "software", infrastructure and hardware in poor areas, and gradually achieve "six households" in improving water, electricity, roads, gas, housing and environment.

Adhere to the guiding principle of classification and improve the accuracy and effectiveness of poverty alleviation.

For those who lose their ability to work, their basic livelihood is guaranteed by means of subsistence allowances and social assistance; For people living in ecologically fragile areas such as deep mountains, rocky mountains and cold, poverty alleviation in different places will be realized through poverty alleviation ecological migration and ex situ poverty alleviation relocation, and the poverty alleviation ecological migration project will be combined with urbanization; For areas with industrial development potential, targeted assistance measures should be formulated according to the lack of technology and funds of poor farmers; For areas with good ecological environment and rich resources, scientifically formulate poverty alleviation and development plans and develop green industries. Improve the ecological compensation mechanism. Poverty alleviation requires accurate identification, accurate management, accurate policy, and accurate assessment, so that poverty alleviation work can be helped to the point and the root.
