| Alleviating rural poverty and improving working and living conditions in underdeveloped areas is one of the major responsibilities of the government. In this year's NPC&CPPCC, Premier Wen Jiabao's government work report also expressed the government's determination to continue to increase input in the work of poverty alleviation. The Third Plenary Session of its Sixteenth Central Committee decided to"building a socialist harmonious society"is a systematic social project which needs the whole society share responsibility. As to poverty relief and development, the decision not only decided to put forward specific requirements for further clarification of the goals and tasks of poverty relief and development, but also the status and role of poverty relief and development in the building of a harmonious socialist society. Therefore, better job of poverty relief and development work is not only the work of poverty relief and development itself ,but also an important way to building a socialist harmonious society.Since the beginning of reform and opening up, the government and all sectors of the hard work, China has made tremendous achievements in poverty. On 25th-17th May 2004, World Bank held the largest ever meeting in Shanghai in global poverty reduction, to promote exchanges and learn from other countries, especially China's poverty-relief experience. It is affirmation of China's achievements in the area of poverty reduction since 25 years of reform and opening up. In the last 20 years of the 20th century, China's rural population in extreme poverty decreased form 250million in 1978to 26.1 million in 2004. The poverty-stricken population reduction in the world mainly happened in China. However, with the rapid development of poverty alleviation practice especially the decreasing of poverty-stricken population, the characteristics of poverty in our country have changed gradually. These changes to China's poverty-relief work has created some new challenges and problems. One conspicuous problem is poor investment decision which needs more scientific and standardized. How rural poverty reduction project investment decision-making is not only a theoretical issue, but more important is a matter of practice.Based on the above historical background and practical significance, this paper emphases on analyzing the World Bank's investment decision-making mechanism in China's rural poverty-relief project, the adaptability of World Bank in China, and then contrast the decision making mechanism between China and World Bank, to identify the gap between them and to make policyrecommendations.The paper consists of six sections: Chapter 1, Introduction.

AHP can express a complex problem into a orderly hierarchical structure, which also have the advantages of practical, systematic and indirect and it is therefore particularly suitable for use in the socio-economic system of decision analysis. However the World Bank's anti-poverty project management is not without flaws. In the process of integration with China, there are still some shortcomings which is analyzed in the last part of this chapter.Chapter 5, the comparative study of decision-making in anti-poverty project between China and the World bank.
