Research on the Participation of Social Organizations in Rural Revitalization Strategy in Shanxi Province
The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed the comprehensive implementation of the Rural Revitalization Strategy, making the development of agriculture, rural areas and farmers (the Three‑Rural Issues) the top priority of modernization construction in the new era. Within the multi‑party rural governance system, social organizations leverage their strengths in public welfare, professionalism and flexibility to fill the supply gaps left by the government and the market. They play a prominent role in industrial revitalization, public service delivery, rural governance and cultural inheritance, and have become an indispensable social force for rural revitalization. Taking the practical practices of social organizations involved in rural revitalization in Shanxi Province as the research object, this paper adopts literature review, case analysis and logical induction. It systematically sorts out the practical achievements of such participation and analyzes prominent challenges, including imbalanced regional development, insufficient project sustainability, and shortages of professional talent. Drawing on typical local practices in Shanxi, this paper puts forward optimization approaches for policy implementation, talent development, and digital upgrading. It aims to foster more standardized, sustainable and efficient engagement of social organizations in rural revitalization, and offer references for the modernization of regional rural governance.
