Thanks to poverty alleviation and women-centered rural revitalization campaigns, many Chinese women, through educating, reskilling and employment projects, have overcome poverty and walked towards a better life. The tremendous achievements of Chinese women in poverty alleviation have showcased the best practices of China, providing a reference for African women’s poverty reduction.
非洲实践 守望相助
African Practices Highlights Solidarity
