    This policy brief suggests that integrated regional development is an effective strategy for reducing persistent rural poverty in China. Given the proximity of mature markets, strong government power to mobilize resources and coordinate organizations’ work, and effective stakeholder participation, the two key stages of integrated regional development include 1) infrastructure construction and 2) industrial development. Government resource mobilization and provision of public goods in the form of infrastructure will lead to improved market competitiveness and access and benefit individual households.
