Abstract: The integration of social work and grassroots governance in Yunnan is the most importants suppart for the promotion of state gover nance in the grass roots units. The findings reveal that although Yunnan has achieved initial results in policy formulation and practice, constrained by structural contradictions, it still faces five major problems—the disconnection between policy design and grassroots realities, unresolved inter-departmental coordination barriers, mismatched resource supply and demand, poor connection between professional services and local needs, and contradictions between talent training and industry demands. A "five-in-one" countermeasure system—improving the institutional coordination mechanism to break down inter-departmental barriers, perfecting the service connection system and innovating characteristic social work models, establishing a resource allocation mechanism to solve the funding bottleneck, strengthening the talent training mechanism to stabilize the grassroots workforce, and constructing a supervision and feedback mechanism to ensure the implementation of policies and measures— is proposed, aiming to provide a reference for promoting the in-depth integration of social work and grassroots governance in Yunnan and other multi-ethnic regions.

Key words: social work, grassroots governance, multi-ethnic regions of Yunnan
