Policy briefings reach households through micro-grid in Linyi village

The Party branch of Qiantaoyuan village in Machanghu town, Linyi High-tech Zone of Linyi, East China's Shandong province, has been sending briefings on the urban and rural resident basic medical insurance and basic pension insurance to villagers' doorsteps, using the village's Party-led micro-grid governance system to raise awareness and enrollment.

Grid chiefs cover the village zone by zone, pairing policy briefings with routine household visits, and make separate calls on the groups most likely to be missed — elderly people living alone, residents with limited mobility and migrant workers back home for the season. Grid chiefs learn the policies first and explain them in plain household language, focusing on what villagers ask most: payment standards, deadlines and benefit entitlements.

The service goes one step further than explanation. For elderly villagers who cannot operate smartphones, grid chiefs register their information and complete the online payment on their behalf, turning "policy briefing" into "on-site service" and solving the problem of residents who could neither pay online nor make the trip to an office. The village Party branch said such briefings and services will continue on a regular basis under the micro-grid framework.
