以脫貧攻堅統攬經濟社會發展全局
脫貧攻堅不僅是要使貧困人口如期全部脫貧，還要使貧困地區經濟社會發展上一個臺階。習近平指出，深度貧困地區黨委和政府要堅持把脫貧攻堅作為“十三五”期間的頭等大事和第一民生工程來抓，堅持以脫貧攻堅統攬經濟社會發展全局。
脫貧攻堅不僅要圍繞貧困人口脫貧做工作，同樣要以區域經濟社會全面發展為前提。精準扶貧的實踐不僅是中國社會政策領域的創新，同時也包含了區域經濟發展的創新。隨著脫貧攻堅的深入，原有貧困縣不斷脫貧摘帽，縣域經濟社會發展邁上了新臺階。在精準扶貧實踐的進程中，不僅縣域發展的基礎設施與公共服務水平有了較大提升，地方政府的治理能力也得到了鍛煉，為經濟社會可持續發展奠定了良好基礎。在脫貧摘帽縣中，一些地方不僅徹底擺脫了貧困縣的帽子，而且形成了良好的產業格局和經濟環境。
以脫貧攻堅統攬經濟社會發展全局，要重點以縣域經濟社會發展為基礎。習近平指出，縣級黨委是全縣脫貧攻堅的總指揮部，縣委書記要統攬脫貧攻堅，統籌做好進度安排、項目落地、資金使用、人力調配、推進實施等工作。
Overall Economic and Social Development Through Poverty Elimination
The goals of China's poverty elimination campaign are to lift all disadvantaged people out of poverty as scheduled, and to bring local economic and social development to a higher level. Xi Jinping has demanded that the local authorities and Party committees in severely impoverished areas take poverty elimination their top priority and the most important project for improving people's wellbeing during the 13th Five-year Plan period (2016-2020). They should focus on poverty elimination in local overall social and economic development.
As well as helping the impoverished population, regional development also deserves great attention. Targeted poverty alleviation is a Chinese innovation in social policy and in regional economic development. As more and more poor counties succeed in eliminating poverty, their economic and social development has been raised to a new level. Infrastructure and public services have been improved, and the local governments' governance capability has been enhanced, thus laying a solid foundation for sustainable development. Some of these counties, once very poor, now have a much better industrial configuration and economic environment.
County social and economic development is the foundation for national development. As Xi Jinping says, county CPC committees should be the headquarters of the poverty elimination campaign, and country Party committee secretaries should take overall charge of poverty elimination - coordinating schedules, launching projects, allocating funds, assigning personnel, and promoting the implementation of projects.
