Rural infrastructure construction urgently needs upgrading

We will strengthen efficient institutional supply and improve the institutional mechanisms for rural infrastructure. 

First, optimize the fund guarantee mechanism for rural infrastructure, on the premise of ensuring that fiscal funds give priority to rural infrastructure investment, encourage and guide more social capital to participate in rural infrastructure construction, give full play to the combined role of financial funds and social capital, and form a diversified investment mechanism with financial priority, financial priorities, and active social participation. The second is to design an institutional system to ensure the full participation of farmers, and ensure the supply of rural infrastructure by establishing the dominant position of farmers, such as the development of the main participation system of rural infrastructure supply, the composition system of supervision bodies, and the income distribution system. The third is to improve the management and operation mechanism of rural infrastructure, so that the system runs through the whole process of construction, management, maintenance and operation of rural infrastructure, and get rid of the disadvantages of emphasizing construction and neglecting management and operation and maintenance in the past.

Follow the idea of classification and overall planning, and promote the coordinated construction of rural infrastructure. First, accurately identify the differences between different types of rural infrastructure, according to the actual situation of rural infrastructure construction in various regions, clarify the priority supply order of different types of infrastructure construction, and promote it in an orderly manner. Second, solve the problem of weak productive infrastructure and livelihood infrastructure in different regions, focus on supplying irrigation facilities that restrict the large-scale operation of agriculture, improve the rural water conservancy infrastructure network, and lay a solid foundation for high-quality agricultural development and industrial prosperity. Promote the extension of urban public transport lines to the countryside; We will accelerate a new round of upgrading of rural power grids, improve rural energy infrastructure networks, and meet the needs of upgrading rural energy consumption. Third, solve the problem of inadequate cultural infrastructure and liquidity infrastructure to better meet the needs of farmers for a better life. Priority should be given to providing quality public services to farmers in infrastructure development, focusing on infrastructure development in culture, education, medical and health care, and Internet access. Build a backbone network of rural logistics facilities, and accelerate the realization of full coverage of rural logistics distribution outlets.

We will fully mobilize the enthusiasm of market players and improve the quality of rural infrastructure supply. To promote the upgrading of rural infrastructure, we should give full play to the decisive role of the market in resource allocation, better play the role of the government, form a diversified supply pattern, and ensure that the supply of rural infrastructure is transformed from insufficient to better. First, improve the benefit sharing mechanism, fully mobilize the enthusiasm of market players to invest in rural infrastructure, and accurately diagnose the shortcomings of rural infrastructure supply with the professional investment decisions of market players, so as to improve the efficiency of rural infrastructure supply. The second is to explore the establishment of a mechanism for the government to purchase rural infrastructure from market entities. 

Focusing on the upgrading of rural infrastructure, we will shift from direct government supply to indirect purchase from market players in a steady and orderly manner on a trial basis, and improve the efficiency of the use of fiscal funds. The third is to actively cultivate social service subjects of rural infrastructure. In terms of institutional mechanisms and policy systems, market subjects who know agriculture, understand rural areas and love farmers are encouraged to participate in the supply of rural infrastructure, and vigorously improve the marketization and social service level of rural infrastructure. For example, market players are encouraged to set up specialized cooperation organizations around different types of rural infrastructure to better supply rural infrastructure. The fourth is to vigorously develop third-party evaluation institutions to conduct independent and professional evaluation of the supply quality of market players, provide a scientific basis for the government's market-oriented purchase, and provide improvement directions for market players to improve the supply quality of rural infrastructure.

Strengthen the core position of grassroots Party organizations and provide political guarantee for upgrading rural infrastructure. First, grass-roots party organizations should pay attention to increasing investment in rural infrastructure, earnestly implement the Party's "three rural" work principles and policies, and take solid work and actively as escorts for the upgrading of rural infrastructure. The second is to actively exert the political mobilization advantages and service functions of grass-roots party organizations, comprehensively publicize the Party's "three rural" work principles and policies in the new era, form a pattern of participation of forces from all sectors of society in rural infrastructure construction, and improve the situation that rural infrastructure construction is not paid attention to. Third, the person in charge of the grass-roots party organization should improve the political position, with a high sense of responsibility, accurately diagnose the shortcomings of rural infrastructure, truly grasp the interests of farmers, and timely report to the party organization at the higher level to provide political guarantee for improving the system and mechanism, optimizing the policy system, and promoting the upgrading of rural infrastructure.
