In 2020, the Chinese Government announced the elimination of extreme poverty in rural areas, an achievement highly acknowledged for China's strong commitment and significant progress to poverty eradication in all forms and dimensions.
Recognising China's tremendous achievements in reducing hunger and the importance of sharing experience with other developing countries, WFP and the Government of China signed a Memorandum of Understanding in March 2016 to strengthen the partnership towards ending global hunger. The establishment of the WFP Centre of Excellence for Rural Transformation ushers the cooperation between WFP and the Government of China into a new era.
