3 Reduce the number of rural residents living in poverty by over 10 million
China will further reduce the number of rural residents living in poverty by over 10 million, including 3.4 million to be relocated from inhospitable areas. Central government funding for poverty alleviation will be increased by over 30 percent.
In poor counties, different rural development funds will be merged, and oversight over funds and projects will be strengthened. The strictest possible evaluations and assessments of poverty alleviation will be carried out, and stern measures will be taken to address deception, falsification, and the manipulation of numbers in poverty elimination work.
