Why won't the water boil even though there's firewood?

In recent years, there have been more and more pro-farmer policies, and farmers have gained real benefits. But recently, when going to the countryside and entering villages for interviews, I heard some people report: there are more projects, but they always feel that something is lacking. Why? Funds for pro-farmer and poverty alleviation projects are scattered across county development and reform, agriculture, poverty alleviation and other departments.

In recent years, there have been more and more pro-farmer policies, and farmers have gained real benefits. But recently, when going to the countryside and entering villages for interviews, I heard some people report: there are more projects, but they always feel that something is lacking.

Why? Funds for pro-farmer and poverty alleviation projects are scattered across county development and reform, agriculture, poverty alleviation and other departments. One department sends a batch of seedlings, another unit paves a section of road, a hammer here and a mallet there. It is like boiling water: if the firewood cannot be put together and the heat is not concentrated, the water will never boil. Some village party branch secretaries said that when roads are built and water tanks are constructed, the departments come down to do it, and the village two committees do not even know about it. For village projects, how the money is spent and how the work is done, the village has no say. Sometimes, when money is not spent on the key points, the masses have complaints, and even think that this is "departments doing everything, contractors making money," and are unwilling to cooperate. Even occupying a bit of field edge or corner, or cutting a few saplings, all become matters to haggle over.

What should be done? Break down the interest barriers among county-level departments, combine them with each village's needs, sort out and integrate agriculture-related fund projects, and "package" them down to the villages. Discipline inspection, auditing, and project authorities should do a good job of supervision, while the right to implement projects and the right to use funds according to law should be delegated to the village two committees, so that "village projects are decided by the village." This can both solve the problem of weakened functions of the village two committees, who "have no rice in hand, and the chicken will not come when called," and stimulate the masses' initiative to "work for themselves," making them care about the projects and add fuel and firewood.
