Research On Performance Evaluation Of County-level Government's Financial Poverty Alleviation Funds In Ethnic Areas

As the largest developing country,China has been carrying out poverty alleviation and development since the founding of the People's Republic.Through long-term efforts and continuous exploration and summary,our government has found a successful way to alleviate poverty.The scale of the poor population has been decreasing,and the income level of the poor population has gradually increased.In order to further improve the effectiveness of poverty alleviation and development work,General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward the concept of “precise poverty alleviation” in November 2013,and at the 2015 High-level Forum on Poverty Alleviation and Development,he put forward the “precise poverty alleviation strategy for China's poverty alleviation work,increasing poverty alleviation input,focusing on six precisions”,and clarified the requirements of “precise use of funds”.As a special financial expenditure for precise poverty alleviation and poverty alleviation,the financial poverty alleviation fund is a powerful support for the realization of poverty alleviation and wealth alleviation of the poor.Ethnic minority areas are the main battlefield for poverty alleviation.It is an important way to speed up the process of poverty alleviation and development by conducting research on the performance evaluation of county-level government financial poverty alleviation funds,improving the utilization efficiency of county-level government financial poverty alleviation funds in ethnic minority areas and achieving the requirement of “accurate use of funds”.Taking Lichuan City of Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture as an example,this paper uses the historical data of the financial poverty alleviation funds and the research data obtained by the author from the grass-roots units of poverty alleviation work.Under the guidance of the poverty and anti-poverty theory and the performance evaluation theory of the financial poverty alleviation funds,this paper synthetically uses the methods of literature research,comparative analysis and field investigation and analysis,etc.,to carry out 2012-2018.In this year,the source,composition and investment of the financial poverty alleviation funds in the city were analyzed and studied,and the performance evaluation index system of the financial poverty alleviation funds was constructed.The poverty alleviation performance of the financial poverty alleviation funds in the city was analyzed in detail by means of the unitary and multiple regression models.Through the above research,the following conclusions are drawn: Firstly,by summarizing the data of past years in the form of quantitative analysis,it is known that the total amount of financial poverty alleviation funds in this city is increasing year by year,and the growth rate is larger;relying on the source analysis,the central financial poverty alleviation funds are the main force of poverty alleviation,playing a leading role in the total amount of financial poverty alleviation funds at higher levels,but at the same time the position of local financial poverty alleviation funds.It is also becoming more and more important,and the proportion of the total financial poverty alleviation funds is increasing constantly;according to the analysis of the composition and structure of the funds,development funds are the main components of the central financial poverty alleviation funds,and work-for-relief funds and minority development funds are the important components of the central financial poverty alleviation funds;through the analysis of the allocation of funds,infrastructure construction is the upper financial poverty alleviation funds.In the core area of investment,industrial development is the key area for higher-level financial poverty alleviation funds,and other investment such as labor training remains stable.Secondly,from the results of poverty reduction performance evaluation,the higher the total amount of financial poverty alleviation funds invested in Lichuan City,the lower the incidence of poverty,the more the total agricultural output value and the disposable income of farmers,the more obvious the effect of poverty reduction;from the perspective of the composition of funds,the three types of central financial poverty alleviation funds have produced remarkable poverty reduction performance,and poverty reduction performance with the development funds of ethnic minorities.The two types of local financial investment in poverty alleviation funds have no significant impact on the reduction of poverty incidence,the increase of grossagricultural output value and the increase of per capita disposable income of farmers;from the perspective of investment direction,the three types of investment of higher-level financial poverty alleviation funds have produced poverty alleviation performance,among which investment in infrastructure construction funds and investment in industrial development funds have the most obvious performance.The performance of investing in other funds to reduce poverty is slight.Based on the above analysis,this paper puts forward the following countermeasures and suggestions: firstly,increase the scale of financial investment in poverty alleviation;secondly,broaden the sources of financial investment in poverty alleviation;thirdly,adjust the structure of financial investment in poverty alleviation;fourthly,optimize the direction of financial investment in poverty alleviation;and fifthly,activate endogenous power to prevent poverty alleviation and poverty return.
