2024 is a critical year for China's implementation of the 14th Five-Year Plan, and it is also an important period for comprehensively promoting rural revitalization. In this context, the importance of rural assistance work is self-evident.
Recently, China's relevant departments held a meeting to set the tone for the rural assistance work in 2024, emphasizing that it is necessary to start from "reality" and focus on three aspects of work: ensuring basic life, ensuring drinking water safety, and ensuring production and employment assistance.
First of all, we need to ensure basic livelihoods. This is the primary task of rural assistance and the foundation of rural revitalization. The meeting pointed out that it is necessary to ensure that the basic livelihood of low-income people in rural areas is guaranteed, and resolutely prevent large-scale return to poverty.
To this end, it is necessary to organically integrate the work of helping rural people with the work of poverty alleviation, continue to increase the intensity of assistance to low-income people in rural areas, and ensure that their basic livelihood is properly solved.
Second, ensure the safety of drinking water. Drinking water safety is the basic need of rural residents, and it is also an important part of rural revitalization. The meeting proposed that it is necessary to comprehensively strengthen the construction and maintenance of rural drinking water safety projects to ensure that rural residents can drink clean, safe, and reliable water. At the same time, it is necessary to establish and improve a long-term mechanism for the safety of drinking water in rural areas and improve the level of drinking water safety in rural areas.
Third, we should ensure production and employment assistance. This is an important aspect of rural assistance and the key to rural revitalization. The meeting proposed to increase support for rural industries, promote the high-quality development of rural industries, and improve the income level of rural residents. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the training and transfer of rural labor force to employment, improve the employability of rural labor force, and ensure that they can stabilize employment and increase income.
In addition to the work in the above three aspects, the meeting also emphasized other important contents of rural assistance work, such as strengthening rural infrastructure construction, improving the rural ecological environment, and improving the level of rural public services. The advancement of these tasks will help improve the quality of life of rural residents and promote rural economic and social development.
In general, in 2024, the rural assistance work will start from "practical", focusing on three aspects: ensuring basic livelihood, ensuring drinking water safety, and ensuring production and employment assistance. The promotion of these works will play a positive role in promoting rural revitalization and lay a solid foundation for the implementation of China's "14th Five-Year Plan".
