Original, GPIG, 06-09-2017
Poverty-relief relocation is one of the priorities of the special poverty alleviation in the new stage. At the national level, the work is under the leadership of the National Development and Reform Commission, supported by the State Council Leading Group Office of Poverty Alleviation and Development (LGOP). Since the implementation of the “12th Five-Year Plan”, the scale of the relocation has been dramatically expanded and the speed has been gradually accelerated. In view of this situation, LGOP carried out the anti-poverty work on the basis of making clear the actual situation and guide line and establishing relevant systems.
1. Project implementation: In 2013, various relocation projects were launched in 22 provinces(autonomous regions, municipalities) nationwide. During the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, the relevant provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) planned to relocate 10.2 million people and 2.53 million households. In 2013, a total of 299,000 households and 1.181 million people were relocated and financial anti-poverty funds of 6.66 billion yuan were invested for the program.
2. Organized special field researches. Facing the new situation of poverty-relief relocation, in 2013, LGOP organized two special field researches. In June 2013, led by Deputy Director Wang Guoliang, a LGOP joint research group composed of relevant leaders of Jiangxi and Gansu provincial poverty alleviation offices visited Ankang and Hanzhong City in the central area of Qinba Mountain Area, successively carried out in-depth research in 20 immigrant resettlement sites and former residences of 12 towns in five counties, namely Ziyang, Pingli, Xixiang, Yangxian and Chenggu County, aiming to understand the production and living situations of the immigrants and the industry development situations in the areas of destination. They talked with the poor and had a comprehensive understanding of the massive relocation in the southern part of Shaanxi Province. In mid-November 2013, according to the requirements on anti-poverty work put forward by Vice Premier Wang Yang in his field research in Guizhou Province, led by Deputy Director General Wang Guoliang, the relevant staff of the National Development and Reform Commission,the Ministry of Land and Resources, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and Guizhou Branch of Xinhua News Agency carried out field research in six counties of Tongren City, Qiandongnan Prefecture and Qiannan Prefecture in Guizhou Province. In accordance with the principle of visiting both former residence and the destination, by way of random sampling, the research group carried out the investigation through interviews, visits and household surveys and obtained the first-hand information on the key links of the planning formulation, household selection for relocation, resettlement site selection, fund raising, construction standards, subsidy providing mode and the subsequent industry development measures, forming a research report.
3. Formulated the “Opinions of LGOP on Further Promoting the Poverty-relief Relocation (Draft)”. On the basis of a comprehensive summary and in-depth analysis of the poverty-relief relocation situation in 2013 and the widespread problems in the relocation, in accordance with the new spirit of the relevant documents of LGOP and General Office of the CPC Central Committee, in order to strengthen precise poverty alleviation, focusing on promoting the poverty-relief relocation orderly, we formulated the “Opinions of LGOP on Further Promoting the Poverty-relief Relocation (Draft)”.
4. Organized a seminar on poverty-relief relocation. Based on an in-depth study of the anti-poverty relocation work, to formulate the opinions on guiding the poverty alleviation offices of various provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) to further push forward the anti-poverty relocation work, in December 2013, we held the seminar on anti-poverty relocation in Xiushui County of Jiangxi Province. 20 leaders and business directors of the poverty alleviation offices of various provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) attended the event and exchanged the poverty-relief relocation experience and practices of their local provinces. At the seminar, the participants had a comprehensive understanding of key problems that need to be solved for the poverty alleviation offices of various provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) to further promote their anti-poverty relocation work and mainly talked about the “Opinions of LGOP on Further Promoting the Poverty-relief Relocation (Draft)”.
