Organization

The International Poverty Reduction Centre in China (IPRCC) originally proposed forming the China-DAC Study Group, as a follow up to the workshop it organised with the DAC Network on Poverty Reduction (POVNET) in February 2008 on "Reducing Poverty and Promoting Pro-Poor Growth: China's Experience in Rural Poverty Reduction at Home and Abroad". The Study Group was set up in January 2009 and includes Chinese academics and government officials as well as representatives of several DAC members and observers. The IPRCC and the OECD's Development Co operation Directorate form the joint secretariat for the Study Group.
