One is that satisfaction of the PGN will not necessarily lead to satisfaction of the SGN, while the other is that satisfaction of the PGN is bound to favor women’s long-term development and improve their fundamental status, or , in other words,satisfy their SGN. This article analyses the considerations on the implementation of Xinjiang women’sprofit-making project financed by the Canadian International Development Program, as well as the results of an appraisal of the project. The considerations on the implementation of the project emphasize the satisfaction of the impoverished women’s PGN. The results of the appraisal show that, after two years of implementation of the project, there is difference, both in the degree of PGN satisfaction and that of SGN satisfaction, between the Uygur women participating in the project and the non-participants (both of approximate economic level), and that the project has obviously propelled the satisfaction of the Uygur women’s SGN. Drawing upon these results, the article briefly analyses the question whether poverty relief or development projects should face up to the different results for women.展开更多
