The second call of the Global Solicitation on Best Poverty Reduction Practices is launched at the 2019 China Poverty Reduction International Forum on Oct. 16, 2019.

At the 2019 China Poverty Reduction International Forum on Oct. 16, 2019, the list of the 110 best poverty reduction case studies selected from a total of 820 case studies submitted in the first round of the Global Solicitation on Best Poverty Reduction Practices is announced.

At the 2019 China Poverty Reduction International Forum on Wednesday, China Internet Information Center and six other organizations announced the launch of the second call of the Global Solicitation on Best Poverty Reduction Practices.

Running from October 16, 2019, to March 31, 2020, the new campaign will invite organizations and individuals from all over the world to submit examples of poverty reduction cases. It aims to share domestic and international best practices in poverty alleviation using real-life cases as the mechanism, so as to promote South-South Cooperation in poverty alleviation.

The campaign is jointly hosted by the World Bank (WB), the Asian Development Bank (ADB), International Poverty Reduction Center in China (IPRCC), China Internet Information Center (CIIC), and the three Rome-based Agencies of the United Nations (RBAs)—the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), and World Food Programme (WFP).

It is planned to publish a compilation of the top 100 case studies in 2020, and this will be shared and promoted around the world through the Global Poverty Reduction Online Knowledge Sharing Database. Individual authors and organizations with winning submissions will each receive a certificate issued by the hosting organizations.

At the forum, the list of the 110 best poverty reduction case studies selected from a total of 820 case studies submitted in the first round of the campaign, launched in May last year, was also announced. 645 case studies were submitted by Government agencies at all levels, enterprises and individuals in China, presenting various approaches to poverty reduction. These include poverty reduction through tourism, financial poverty alleviation, poverty reduction for vulnerable groups, and poverty reduction through employment and entrepreneurship. 175 international cases were contributed by international organizations and research institutions including the WFP, IFAD, FAO, WB, ADB, African Center for Economic Transformation (ACET), and Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative(OPHI) at the University of Oxford. These case studies cover more than 30 countries, including Pakistan, Brazil, Philippines, Colombia, Cambodia, Cameroon, Kenya, Nigeria, Laos, and Malaysia.

At the 3rd annual International Seminar on Global Poverty Reduction Partnerships in Rome last May, Xia Gengsheng, vice minister of the State Council Leading Group Office of Poverty Reduction and Development, said that the Chinese government was working on its post-2020 strategy for poverty reduction. "We will promote cooperation with international agencies so that we can better explore measures to address relative poverty and promote poverty alleviation in China in a sustainable manner."

The 2019 China Poverty Reduction International Forum was hosted through the combined efforts of the seven above-mentioned organizations, under the theme of "Joint efforts on knowledge sharing, to promote global poverty reduction governance."More than 200 guests from 30 countries attended the forum.
