BEIJING, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report from China.org.cn on the announcement of the 126 best global poverty reduction case studies being recognized in Beijing in the seventh round of global solicitation and the launch of the eighth round of the campaign.

On Nov. 11, the top Global Solicitation on Best Poverty Reduction Practices (Seventh Call) case studies were recognized for their excellence at the 2026 International Seminar on Global Poverty Reduction Partnerships. The eighth round of solicitation also commenced at the seminar, which was held in Beijing.

Initiated by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the China Internet Information Center (CIIC), the International Poverty Reduction Center in China (IPRCC), the World Bank (WB), and three United Nations Rome-based Agencies – the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), and the World Food Programme (WFP) – in 2018, the Global Solicitation on Best Poverty Reduction Practices was created in order to encourage individuals and organizations around the world to submit case studies that may serve as inspiring reference material. The campaign is also an attempt to contribute to the formation of innovative global poverty alleviation partnerships that pool the strengths of various parties.

The seventh call for submissions began in December 2025, and 890 case studies from 31 countries and regions were ultimately submitted. The case studies that were received featured numerous examples of successfully using artificial intelligence and other digital technologies to support poverty reduction and rural development, and 126 excellent case studies were selected after a joint review conducted by the Global Solicitation on Best Poverty Reduction Practices' seven organizing institutions.

The organizers will also publish collections of the top case studies as well as related visual materials, including videos and illustrated explainers, in order to support sustainable rural development and poverty reduction in developing countries.

The poverty reduction case study solicitation series has attracted the participation of individuals and organizations around the world and received positive responses in China and internationally ever since it was launched in 2018. More than 5,470 case studies from 93 countries and regions have been submitted thus far, and 763 have been recognized for their excellence.

The Global Solicitation on Best Poverty Reduction Practices (Seventh Call) received additional support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Global Partnership for Poverty Alleviation and Development (GPPAD).
