Third Call of the Best Poverty Reduction Case Studies Recognized

Xia Gengsheng, Vice Administrator of National Rural Revitalization Administration of the PRC delivered a speech in the opening ceremony of the seminar, pointing out that the Global Solicitation on Best Poverty Reduction Practices focuses on international organizations and individuals valuing poverty reduction and development, collecting cases that could be understood, learned, and practiced. It aims at sharing global practices of poverty reduction and the PRC’s experience of poverty reduction without any reservation through case studies.

Zhang Hao, Deputy Country Director, ADB Resident Mission in the PRC said the Asian Development Bank has placed great importance in the Global Solicitation of Best Poverty Reduction Practices Initiatives underscored by its participation since the first call and consistently being the largest international case study contributor. There is certainly much for countries to learn from each other. What is important is not to simply share the cases, but to tell an inspiring human story that touches everyone’s heart that they too can make a difference to their communities wherever that may be.
