Overview : Under the project titled “Support the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform in Developing a Comprehensive Rural Development Strategy” the UNDP is providing both technical and policy advisory support to the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform to achieve the objectives of the South African Land Reform Programme and Rural Development Goals. This support is in line with the National Development Plan’s Vision 2030 of an inclusive rural economy wherein: rural communities should have greater opportunities to participate fully in the economic, social and political life of the country. The 2030 vision speaks of the inclusivity and integration of rural areas, through successful land reform, job creation and poverty alleviation, and places agriculture as the driving force behind this vision. As part of land reform activities undertaken by this project, UNDP provided policy advisory support to the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform on the regulation of land holding a policy which is intended to set up land ceilings. UNDP is therefore looking to engage a consultant in providing technical support to the Department of Rural Development Land Reform on the Regulation of Land Holding Bill and Operation Phakisa Project. |
