An analysis of the budget for rural development and land reform in 2010/11

This year’s budget (2010/11) offers half a billion rand more for land reform than last year, with funds of just over R4 billion, but surprisingly little both for the priority area of rural development and for the unfinished work of land restitution. At the same time, rural development will require coordinated provision of funds and support from different parts of government.

The indications that rural areas will be prioritised for job opportunities under the expanded public works programme: the creation of a new on-site water and sanitation grant as part of the rural housing programme are steps in the right direction. But the actual shape and scale of rural development is yet to become clear.

On 9 March 2010, PLAAS presented an analysis of the rural development and land reform budget for 2010/11 to the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Rural Development and Land Reform. 
The presentation is available here.
