STRATEGIC PLANNING FRAMEWORK

• Vision
• Vibrant, sustainable and equitable rural
  communities
• Strategy
• Agrarian transformation, meaning the rapid and
  fundamental change in the relations (systems and
  patterns of ownership and control) of land,
  livestock, cropping and community
• Strategic Objective
• Social cohesion and development

DEFINITION OF RURAL AREAS

• The Rural Development Framework, adopted by the
  Government in 1997, defined rural areas as
• Sparsely populated areas in which people farm or
  depend on natural resources, including villages
  and small towns that are dispersed throughout
  these areas.
• They include large settlements in the former
  homelands, created by apartheid removals, which
  depend on migratory labour and remittances for
  their survival.
• Rurality refers to a way of life, a state of
  mind and a culture which revolves around land,
  livestock, cropping and community.

9
CHALLENGES FACING RURAL AREAS

• Lessons from the CRDP sites indicate that the
  challenges of rural areas include the following
• Under utilisation and/or unsustainable use of
  natural resources
• poor or lack of access to socio-economic
  infrastructure and services, public amenities and
  government services (e.g. industrial parks lying
  idle especially in the former homeland areas)
• lack of access to water or lack of water sources
  for both household and agricultural development
• low literacy, skills levels and migratory labour
  practices

10
CHALLENGES FACING RURAL AREAS continued

• decay of the social fabric (child/woman headed
  households, crime, family disputes and lack of
  Ubuntu)
• death of cultural progress
• unresolved restitution and land tenure issues
• townships not formally established thus
  hindering service provision and development
• dependence on social grants and other forms of
  social security
• unexploited opportunities in agriculture,
  tourism, mining and manufacturing

COORDINATION INTEGRATION

• The success depends on
• Actions and commitments of relevant sector
  departments within all the spheres of government
• joint planning, resource allocation and
  implementation of agreed rural initiatives
• partnership with local government and alignment
  with Integrated Development Plans (IDP)
• increased Public Private Partnerships in support
  of rural development
• enhanced role of traditional leaders, NGOs and
  civil society in the implementation of the CRDP.

32
WAY FORWARD

• Further work is still required in
• Refining the lessons from the CRDP sites to
  inform policy
• finalising the policy on the Comprehensive Rural
  Development Programme
• aligning national and provincial rural
  development plans and implementation
• establish intergovernmental implementation
  protocols to ensure integrated implementation of
  the CRDP
• agree on timeframes and indicators
• finalise outcomes, activities and related
  measurement indicators

33
Conclusion

• We derive our Mandate and Strategic Direction
  from the Manifesto of the ruling party and the
  Priorities of the MTSF 2009
• Our vision is to see vibrant and sustainable
  rural communities the CRDP is the vehicle that
  will take us there
• The pilots in Giyani (Limpopo), Riemvasmaak (NC)
  and other Provinces will enable us to come up
  with an evidence based integrated approach to the
  CRDP
• We need commitment and cooperation from other
  State Departments, Municipalities and other
  relevant and critical Stakeholders, including
  NGOs, DFIs, Research Institutions .
• Must share available resources, reprioritize and
  optimize use of available resources (human and
  financial)
• Working together we can do more,
