“五级书记”
中国共产党的领导是中国脱贫攻坚最大的政治优势。“五级书记”是指省、市、县、乡四级党委书记和村党支部书记。脱贫攻坚是省市县乡村五级书记一起抓的一把手工程，是一项极其重大、极为严肃的政治任务。
中共中央决定，脱贫攻坚任务重的省区市的党政一把手签订脱贫攻坚责任书，向中央作出承诺，并且要层层落实责任，省市县乡村五级书记一起抓扶贫。同时，应充分发挥贫困地区和贫困人口作为脱贫攻坚主体的作用。贫困人口的脱贫、贫困地区的发展，需要党和政府的帮助，需要各方面的支持，但最终还是要靠自身努力。必须激发贫困地区、贫困人口的内生动力，鼓励他们自力更生、艰苦奋斗、勤劳致富、自强不息，在国家政策支持下，在各方面支持下，靠自己的双手改变贫穷面貌，改变落后的命运。
习近平强调，要把实施乡村振兴战略摆在优先位置，坚持五级书记抓乡村振兴，让乡村振兴成为全党全社会的共同行动。通过实现乡村产业振兴、人才振兴、文化振兴、生态振兴、组织振兴，推动农业全面升级、农村全面进步、农民全面发展。
CPC Secretaries at Five Levels Responsible for Poverty Elimination
The CPC leadership is China's biggest political strength in its poverty elimination effort. The five levels refer to the Party committees of provinces, cities (prefectures), counties and townships, and the Party branches of villages. For Party secretaries at these five levels, poverty elimination is a serious political task that they must take on the responsibility to fulfill.
The CPC Central Committee has decided that in places with challenging poverty elimination work, the heads of provincial-level Party committees and governments will assume overall responsibility and sign written pledges to the central leadership, and they and their subordinates at all levels will be responsible for poverty alleviation under their jurisdiction.
Poor people and poor regions will play a key role in poverty elimination. In addition to assistance from the CPC, the government and other social sectors, they need to rely on themselves. They must be inculcated with an internal drive to better themselves.
Xi Jinping emphasizes giving top priority to the rural revitalization strategy, and having Party secretaries at five levels take charge of the implementation. The vision is to promote the overall upgrading of agriculture and progress of rural areas and farmers through developing economic activities, cultural progress, and eco-environmental conservation.
