PROGRESS WITH IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DELIVERY AGREEMENT

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.
