The Difficulties and Breakthrough Paths in Consolidating the Connection between Poverty Alleviation and Rural Revitalization in Ganzi Prefecture—An Empirical Study Based on the Perspective of Poverty Alleviation in D County

Abstract

Facilitating the effective transition from poverty alleviation to rural revitalization is a pivotal issue for high-quality development in ethnic regions. This study focuses on D County in Ganzi Prefecture, systematically analyzing the practical challenges it faces in consolidating poverty eradication achievements and bridging the gap with rural revitalization, while exploring corresponding breakthrough strategies. The research identifies four core challenges in D County’s transition process: 1) Weak grassroots governance capacity and policy implementation deviations; 2) Outdated public mindsets with persistent dependency mentality of “waiting, relying, and demanding”; 3) Single industrial structure with short supply chains and low value-added; 4) Significant constraints from natural environment limitations and notable deficiencies in infrastructure and human capital. To address these issues, the study proposes targeted solutions including enhancing grassroots governance capabilities, promoting public mindset transformation, and establishing an ecological industrial development system. This research aims to provide practical guidance for D County’s effective transition from poverty alleviation to rural revitalization, while offering replicable models for ethnic regions facing similar challenges.
