4 The MTSF MTSF serve as “the principal guide to planning and resource allocation across all spheres of government” and also sets out the country’s developmental challenges. It is best viewed as a “frame of reference” designed to guide the government’s policy position and programme of action. It is informed by the election manifesto of the governing party.

5 Problem Statement Main challenge for rural development has been marginalisation of the poor, with mutual acknowledgement of the following problems: Apartheid’s spatial design (patterns); Land ownership patterns; Land reform has not yet translated into the establishment of sufficient numbers of sustainable new black farmers; Under-utilization and unsustainable use of natural resources Rural areas also struggle to attract sustainable enterprises and industries; and Weak coordination of planning and implementation of rural development.

6 Six MTSF priority areas The NDP identifies six policy imperatives, which will be the focus areas of in this MTSF period: 1.Improved land administration and spatial planning for integrated development in rural areas 2.Sustainable land reform (agrarian transformation) 3.Improved food security 4.Smallholder farmer development and support (technical, financial, infrastructure) for agrarian transformation 5.Increased access to quality basic infrastructure and services, particularly in education, healthcare and public transport in rural areas 6.Growth of sustainable rural enterprises and industries characterised by strong rural-urban linkages, increased investment in agro-processing, trade development and access to markets and financial services– resulting in rural job creation
