Chinanews, Dec. 7 - Jiang Xiaohua, director of the Foreign Capital
Poverty Alleviation Management Center of the State Council Leading Group
Office of Poverty Alleviation and Development, said at today's Conference
of International Cooperation on China Poverty Alleviation and Development
that nearly 50 international organizations have participated in China's
poverty alleviation program at present. China has made great achievements
in poverty reduction with foreign capital, which also provides experience
for the world anti-poverty project.
According to Xinhuanet.com, Jiang Xiaohua pointed out that the Chinese
government started large-scale cooperation on poverty alleviation with
the international community in 1995, symbolized by the World Bank loan
program in Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou jointly launched by the Leading
Group Office and the World Bank. International organizations mainly take
part in large-scale comprehensive poverty alleviation programs,
experimental, pilot and model projects, institution and capability
construction programs and cooperation on research.
Jiang said that the implementation of poverty alleviation program has
increased the gross investment in poverty reduction and development,
offset the shortage of domestic capital, improved the production and
living conditions in poverty-stricken regions, elevated the income and
standards of living of the poor, and accelerated the progress of China's
poverty reduction. According to incomplete statistics, poverty
alleviation projects conducted or supervised by the Foreign Capital
Poverty Alleviation Management Center absorbed more than US$800 million
foreign capital in the past ten years, which increased the investment and
played an important role in central and western regions.
Results of the poverty monitoring survey conducted by the National Bureau
of Statistics show that thanks to the World Bank loan program, 61 poor
counties in China's southwestern regions and the Qinling-Dabashan
mountainous region have sharply alleviated the poverty with a speed
faster than China's average level. Per capita net income in villages
involved in the program has increased considerably and self-development
ability of poverty-stricken rural households has been elevated visibly.
