Small‑scale practices deliver big governance gains in Yanbin Town

Yanbin Town of Junan County has explored an innovative grassroots‑governance path via its “five‑small” working practice. Starting from small‑matters closely related to villagers’daily lives, local cadres solve trivial but vital livelihood problems, improve neighbourhood relations and raise public sense of happiness.

The “five‑small” mechanism focuses on small visits, small mediation, small services, small publicity and small practical projects. Grassroots workers go deep into villages to collect public opinions, mediate minor neighbourhood disputes, deliver convenient doorstep services, carry out targeted civil‑custom publicity and implement small‑scale livelihood projects.

Rather than only focusing on large landmark projects, the township prioritises solving scattered small‑scale complaints and practical difficulties raised by villagers. The “five‑small” model pushes governance resources down to the most basic rural units and helps prevent minor conflicts from escalating.

Yanbin Town will further refine the working mechanism, draw practical experience from on‑site practice and continuously elevate the modern‑governance capacity at township‑and‑village level.
