Starting from 2021, areas which have been lifted out of poverty are to work for a new goal: rural revitalization.
As the country’s “No. 1 central document” for 2021, the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) puts forward measures to consolidate and expand the results of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization. To this end, financial departments of different levels will make efforts to achieve the effective combination of the consolidation of poverty alleviation results and rural revitalization, so as to bring a better life to farmers, according to Liu Kun.

QUETTA: Aminullah, a resident of Ziarat district, struggled for a long time to find a sustainable means of income for himself and his family. He saw a hope when he became able to open his own mobile repair shop after becoming a part of the Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund’s (PPAF) Revitalising Youth Enterprises (RYE) programme.
The RYE programme led by the PPAF in coordination with the Balochistan Rural Support Programme (BRSP), is an initiative specifically launched for the youth of Balochistan.
It provides vocational training to 300 men and women of Qilla Saifullah and Ziarat, two of the most poverty-stricken areas of the province.
