About This Document

The Kashgar prefecture government issued this form to gather information about poor households and categorize them during the most intensive period of poverty alleviation from 2018 to 2020. The first section of the form requires basic information about any given household, indicating levels of poverty, resettlement or relocation status, and assistance measures. The second section of the form requires an explanation for the causes of poverty, including “a mindset of waiting, relying, wanting,” “religious influence,” and “low cultural level.” Subsequent sections outline prescribed countermeasures and forecasted future income.
