From Inquiries to Action: Yunnan's Three-Phase Strategy to Boost Rural Incomes

Deep News07-11

Solidifying and expanding the achievements in poverty alleviation is the province's top priority.

At the conference on advancing regular assistance to continuously consolidate these results, the provincial Party secretary emphasized the need to establish and practice a correct view of political achievements, persistently carry out regular assistance, and make every effort to increase farmers' incomes.

To solidify and expand the fruits of poverty alleviation, industrial development is the support, and income growth is the ultimate goal.

Over the past five years, provincial authorities have consistently centered all efforts on boosting farmers' incomes, proposing the initial "Five Inquiries" and a subsequent "New Five Inquiries" on sustained income growth for the populace.

At this recent meeting, the secretary further highlighted "Six Key Tasks," providing a clearer pathway for promoting rural income growth.

From the initial "Five Inquiries" to the "New Five Inquiries" and now the "Six Key Tasks," we can understand Yunnan's "roadmap" for rural income growth through three key phrases.

At a previous conference on effectively linking the consolidation of poverty alleviation achievements with rural revitalization, the provincial leader raised the "Five Inquiries" on sustained public income growth: How can rural industries enrich the people? How can employment be expanded? How can rural reforms be deepened? How can beautiful villages be built well? And how can the bottom line against returning to poverty be made increasingly secure?

The purpose of posing these "Five Inquiries" was to start with questions, use questions to break down problems, and thereby inquire into ideas, methods, innovation, and tangible results.

Earlier this year, at a study session for leading cadres, the focus once again turned to the theme of income growth, leading to the introduction of the more in-depth, specific, and penetrating "New Five Inquiries": Is the matter of increasing farmers' incomes truly being grasped with your own hands? How many people still have incomes below the average line? Which villages and which households still have unstable incomes? How effectively are the mechanisms linking agriculture with farmers being utilized? And are agricultural funds being used and managed properly?

The progression from the "Five Inquiries" to the "New Five Inquiries" represents a shift from focusing on the action plan to directly addressing implementation outcomes; the former asks "how to answer this question well," while the latter pursues "how well it has been answered."

At the latest conference, the emphasis on "Six Key Tasks" provides an even more defined path. The first task is to provide precise assistance to households with lower incomes, continuously raising the baseline against returning to poverty.

The second is to leverage resource advantages to cultivate and strengthen rural industries that enrich the people.

The third is to persistently focus on employment, continuously broadening channels for the public to find jobs.

The fourth is to strengthen follow-up support for relocations, ensuring relocated residents can prosper and develop.

The fifth is to make good use of the Shanghai-Yunnan cooperation and targeted assistance mechanisms to accelerate development in less developed areas.

The sixth is to earnestly and seriously carry out rectification efforts, using problem-solving to enhance the quality and effectiveness of assistance.

Whether it is the "Five Inquiries," the "New Five Inquiries," or the "Six Key Tasks," the goal is directly aimed at the fundamental objective of promoting farmers' income growth.

The difference lies in that the "Five Inquiries" focus on setting the direction and clarifying the path, the "New Five Inquiries" focus on assigning responsibility and verifying effectiveness, while the "Six Key Tasks" represent a "to-do list" explored through practical experience by various localities under a clear framework.

These three key phrases string together Yunnan's "roadmap" for boosting rural incomes.

Exploration knows no bounds, and practice is never-ending.

As stated by the provincial leader at the meeting, the relay race to consolidate poverty alleviation achievements and promote farmers' income growth must be run one baton after another, with each term of leadership building upon the last, leading people of all ethnic groups to create a better and happier life.

Yunnan is taking steady steps to transform the "roadmap" for rural income growth into a "realistic picture," striving to write a new chapter of common prosperity across the land of Yunnan.
