Organizations to aid development

The General Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee issued a guideline about social organizations on Sunday, aiming to encourage such groups to fully play their role in the country's development. Under the guideline, a reasonable and vigorous development framework will be established by 2020. China's social organizations have contributed to society's development, the guideline said, but problems such as an unclear management system and lack of government guidance remain. The guideline aims to foster better management.
