Tibet has been one of China's main battlefields against poverty for geographical and historical reasons ever since the central government launched a nationwide effort in 2016 to improve the lives of the poor. Shigatse has been one of the region's main targets for poverty alleviation.

Over three years, numerous steps have been taken to improve the local economy, including attracting investment, creating new jobs, relocating residents from less habitable places, setting up educational funds and implementing a variety of social welfare programs.
