Innovative poverty alleviation: ZJU's recognized efforts in Southwest China

From applying new technologies to local industries and expanding sales channels for agricultural products to providing volunteer teaching, training and medical assistance, ZJU spares no effort to help local people in Jingdong Yi autonomous county, an underdeveloped area in Southwest China’s Yunnan province, overcome poverty and live a happier and more fulfilling life.

Our long-term endeavor was recognized as one of the global best poverty reduction practices at the 2022 International Seminar on Global Poverty Reduction Partnerships. The seminar was jointly organized by the International Poverty Reduction Center in China (IPRCC), International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), World Food Program (WFP), and China Internet Information Center (CIIC).
