0 
The Communist Party of China (CPC) is improving social management by training grassroots officials.
More than 120 Party committee secretaries from townships, villages, neighborhoods and communities from the country's 31 provincial divisions are attending a training program, said a statement from the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee on Thursday.
The performance of grassroots officials will greatly affect the country's development and stability as well as people's trust in the government, the statement quoted Li Yuanchao, head of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, as saying.
The party officials will study social management policies and guidelines issued by the central government and learn how to implement them at the local level, the statement said.
Officials should work hard to solve the problems people complain most about so as to maintain a stable society, Li said.
They should be well-informed about what people find unsatisfactory, and use good communication skills to urge local people to express their requests in a legal and rational way, he said.
The five-day program, which opened on Wednesday, is the first of its kind initiated by the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee.
