Experts welcome central poverty relief inspection

Experts say a special inspection of poverty relief work in 26 provinces, regions, government bodies and banks will ensure government policies are implemented fully, poverty alleviation funds are used properly, and the country's goal of ridding rural areas of absolute poverty in three years is realized.

Announced by the Communist Party of China Central Committee this week, the special inspection is the first to look solely at Party organizations' involvement in poverty relief work in such areas.

It will effectively supervise the implementation of central government policies by local Party organizations and discipline inspection commissions and ensure they fully perform their duties in solving problems in poverty alleviation, said Jiang Laiyong, a researcher at the Research Center of Clean Governance at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
