China’s poverty alleviation programs have been searching for the best level of implementation. Unlike the distribution of poverty in the 1980s, the poor today are dispersed over greater areas, making traditional county-level poverty alleviation initiatives inefficient. Given that the drivers of poverty for each individual are different, making tailored plans is a major challenge. In this article for E-International Relations, Terence Chong and Cong Qin suggest that individually-targeted policies seem the best choice. Government should introduce a multi-level supervision system to ensure that individual poverty alleviation programs are not captured by elites.
