Outcome 7: Vibrant, equitable and sustainable rural communities and food security for all Presentation to the Portfolio Committee on Rural Development and Land Reform 15 June 2011 M514 Marks Bldg, CPT 15h30
Outcome 7: Presentation Outline • Introduction • Outcome 7 • Programme design: 3.1. Targets set in the performance agreement per output; and 3.2. Sub outputs 4. Progress made in the first two reporting cycles
12 Outcomes • An improved quality of basic education. • A long and healthy life for all South Africans. • All South Africans should be safe and feel safe. • Decent employment through inclusive growth. • A skilled and capable workforce to support an inclusive growth path. • An efficient, competitive and responsive economic infrastructure network. • Vibrant, equitable, sustainable rural communities with food security for all. • Sustainable human settlements and an improved quality of household life. • A responsive, accountable, effective and efficient local government system. • Environmental assets and natural resources that are well protected and enhanced. • A better Africa and a better world as a result of South Africa's contributions to global relations. • An efficient and development-oriented public service and an empowered, fair and inclusive citizenship
Contribution towards:Outcomes 4, 9 and 10 DRDLR contributes to the following outcomes: • Outcome 4: strengthening employment, economic growth and equality in line with the job creation model • Outcome 9: meeting basic needs of communities and promoting appropriate service delivery models in rural areas • Outcome 10: sustainable natural resource management
CONCLUSION • While good progress was made on set targets (numbers and percentages), in most instances the developmental impact is still to be measured; • In addition, the full extent of the infrastructure backlogs in rural areas is still to be quantified and costed; • Most jobs created thus far have been work opportunities and collaboration is required with other Outcomes to attain more sustainable jobs; • Although the land acquisition targets have been exceeded during this reporting period, the challenges facing land reform remain; • What remains to be done, is interventions to increase productivity on farms acquired; market access; provision of technical and financial support to the new farmers; • Relations have significantly improved between DAFF and DRDLR and for each of the outputs under Outcome 7, a DDG from DAFF has been assigned to work with DRDLR and under Output 5, which is a coordinating output, DG: DAFF and DG:DRDLR are leading.
