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.
8
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
9
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

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.
COORDINATION & INTEGRATION
31
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
32
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”,
