Xue Lisheng, vice editor-in-chief of CIIC, delivers a speech.
Xue Lisheng, vice editor-in-chief of China Internet Information Center (CIIC), said that the campaign was jointly launched by seven organizations, including the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, FAO, IFAD, WFP, IPRCC and CIIC, in May 2018 in Beijing. Among 820 case studies received in total, 645 Chinese ones were received, introducing various poverty reduction approaches, such as through tourism, financial poverty alleviation, poverty reduction for vulnerable groups and poverty reduction through employment and entrepreneurship.
International organizations and research institutions contributed 175 international case studies from over 30 countries, including Brazil, the Philippines, Colombia, Pakistan, Haiti, Ghana, Cambodia, Cameroon, Kenya, Nigeria, Laos, Malaysia, etc.
Some participants introduced their poverty reduction practices on the seminar. Ni Limin, the director of Alibaba Poverty Relief Fund said, the company fights against poverty in the aspects of education, health, women, ecology, and e-commerce, to help poverty-stricken regions eradicate poverty and to explore a sustainable and participatory "Internet + poverty relief" model.
“We will leverage more social resources so that more enterprises, institutions, and the public can join the fight against poverty.” Ni added.
He Zhiwei, county mayor of Horqin Zuoyi Rear Banner (County), Inner Mongolia of China, stressed that scientific and targeted measures should be adopted to reduce poverty in areas with frail ecological environment and severe land desertification. “It is important to improve the living environment and production conditions, foster leading ecological industries and increase income of people in poverty in a sustainable way,” he said.
Yao Li, the founder and chairperson of BN Vocational School said that efficient charitable vocational education can provide high-quality educational resources for poor and vulnerable young people, thereby improving their ability to get a job and increase income.

The result of the Global Solicitation and Challenge Prize on Best Poverty Reduction Practices is presented at the seminar.
Ashwani K. Muthoo, director of Global Engagement and Multilateral Relations Division of IFAD, said, “This is a very commendable initiative, because it does give an opportunity for China and the global community to learn from the practices and experiences of people who are actually implementing activities on the grounds. We can identify best practices that can be replicated and scaled in other contexts. We can also explore, further deepen and understand what those innovations are and to see how they can be adopted in other countries and other context.”
Melanie Ullrich, external relations officer, European Representative Office of ADB said, “With unremitting efforts, the PRC has made remarkable achievement in the past 40 years. China’s successful experience in reducing poverty has also generated a bulk of knowledge to share with the rest of the developing world. It could be the immediate, tangible contribution that China can make to the global commitment to end poverty and achieve sustainable development by 2030. The Global Solicitation and Challenge Prize on Best Poverty Reduction Practices is very fruitful and allows more countries to learn from China’s experience.”
As the third seminar of its kind since 2017, this year’s seminar has received support from various parties, with a growing number of partners along the way. More than 200 people from governments, international organizations, private sector, civil society and academia attended the seminar.
