Wulin Mountains Minority-Areas Development Project
This five-year project operates in the resource-poor,
densely populated Wulin Mountains in East Guizhou and West Hunan provinces.
Indigenous people comprise about 80 per cent of the project area’s
population, which has an average income of US$63. The project aims
to reduce chronic poverty and improve living conditions by boosting
agricultural production and improving community access to potable
water, health care, education facilities and financial services. Other
activities include the promotion of microenterprises and the formation
of small village groups to disseminate information and mobilize their
communities.
