Six Elements of Targeted Poverty Alleviation 

2015年6月,习近平在贵州考察时提出了扶贫开发工作“六个精准”的基本要求,即扶持对象精准、项目安排精准、资金使用精准、措施到户精准、因村派人(第一书记)精准、脱贫成效精准。“六个精准”涵盖了贫困治理的基本方面,为扶贫政策设计与地方治理创新提供了基本依据。“六个精准”不仅强调贫困治理对象、项目和目标等的精准,同时也注重实现彼此之间的匹配。只有把真正的贫困人口弄清楚,才能做到真扶贫、扶真贫;只有明确了各级政府责任,责任落实到人,才能做到扶贫项目优先安排、扶贫资金优先保障;只有按照贫困地区和贫困人口的具体情况施策,才能在各地千差万别的情况下因地制宜实现脱贫目标。

Xi Jinping talked about six elements of targeted poverty alleviation during his inspection tour of Guizhou Province in June 2015: (1) Institutional innovations are needed to ensure that the recipients are those in need; (2) The projects are adapted to the eligible recipients; (3) The funds are effectively used; (4) Appropriate measures are taken for individual households; (5) Capable workers (first Party branch secretary) are dispatched to individual villages; and (6) The results of poverty alleviation reach expectations. These instructions cover the fundamentals of poverty governance and guide policy making and local management innovation. The six elements above are mutually relevant: •Only with accurate information about the true poor populations can targeted assistance reach the households in need; •Only with clear responsibilities defined for governments and officials can priority be given to projects and funds for poverty relief purposes; and •Only with targeted policies being tailored for poor areas and poor populations can effective poverty alleviation be attained for different local conditions.
