Multiple measures support poverty alleviation in Kuqa

In recent years, Kuqa County of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has made full use of the aid policies. Based on its unique location, regional strengths and local conditions, Kuqa has developed several comprehensive poverty alleviation projects involving education, health care, and specific industries. In addition, multiple models are employed to attract small and micro enterprises, thus promoting female employment. Meanwhile, local ethnic people are encouraged through capital and policy support to start their own businesses at home.
