ABSTARCTPoverty alleviation has long been high on the political agenda of the Chinese government. The current research is intended to evaluate the urban Minimum Livelihood Guarantee Scheme (MLG) scheme, which is serving as the primary anti-poverty policy measure for individuals and families in China. In this article, we construct an evaluation framework, incorporating the concepts of equity, efficiency and effectiveness, which are the most essential factors in the performance evaluation in public sectors. Guided by this framework, a series of indicators were developed to scrutinize the design, implementation and impact of MLG scheme. On the whole, MLG plays an essential role in poverty alleviation among urban residents, however, faced with multifaceted needs of the recipients, urban MLG can only provide them a minimum income, but not guarantee the basic livelihood, especially for those who have to pay for healthcare and children’s education. It is suggested that the government should not limit itself in providing such a mean-tested cash transfer programme, and needy people’s basic livelihood cannot be guaranteed by solely implementing MLG. In addition to MLG, more social assistance programmes such as short-term medical assistance, temporary assistance and educational assistance, both in cash and in kind, are still necessary
