Liu Yongfu pointed out at the meeting that this year is the year to overcome poverty and overcome difficulties. The sudden new outbreak of pneumonia has had a major impact on economic and social development, and it has also brought new challenges and difficulties to poverty alleviation. The epidemic has hindered poor laborers from going out to work, impaired production and operation of poor households, limited assistance work in villages, and delays in the resumption of production of leading poverty alleviation enterprises, poverty alleviation workshops, and poverty alleviation projects. However, various localities and departments and the national poverty alleviation system have risen to the difficulty, and have not spared any effort to go all out to promote poverty alleviation.
Liu Yongfu said that through the joint efforts of all parties, positive progress has been made in the fight against poverty. Up to now, all the resident support forces in the village have been put in place, and the listed supervision has been fully implemented and promoted in an orderly manner. The migrant workers of the poor have reached 95.4% of the total number of migrant workers last year. The resumption rate was 97.5%, the poverty reduction workshop resumption rate was 97%, and the poverty reduction project operation rate was 82%. The consumer poverty alleviation action has a good start. More than 40,000 poverty alleviation products have been identified in the central and western regions, and sales have reached 27.5 billion yuan. The consumption poverty alleviation in the eastern region amounts to 4.8 billion yuan. The funds for poverty alleviation cooperation between East and West and the cadre talents are in excess.

The poverty-stricken marginalized population with working ability shall be supported by poverty alleviation policies such as discounted micro-credit loans, skill training, and public welfare posts for poverty alleviation.
