BEIJING, Feb. 28 (Chinese media) -- The Ministry of Civil Affairs said on Friday that China has launched a national campaign to strengthen democratic management and boost transparency among about 30,000 villages.
The three-year campaign, led by the National Information Openness Team of Village Affairs under the Ministry of Civil Affairs (MOCA), aims to resolve rural disputes and conflicts by safeguarding farmers' rights of knowing and monitoring, China Daily quoted Huang Guanhong, an official in the department of local governance and community construction of MOCA, as saying.
The move comes as a result of the circular issued recently by 12 ministries in an effort to "achieve a fundamental change of challenged villages in three years", the paper reported.
He Yong, the deputy secretary of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), who is in charge of the team, warned that reform, development and stability in the countryside would be affected if the challenges in these villages were not addressed in a timely manner, according to the newspaper.
He Yong said targeted village organizations are required to improve transparency and information briefing of village affairs.
The campaign also aims to safeguard farmers' legitimate rights and interests, facilitate social harmony and promote rural economy.
