DEVELOPMENT GAPS
• Non-aligned and non-informed project interventions, resulting in Lack of community sense of ownership.
• Little or no local economic growth and empowerment due to continuous use of consultants who parachute in with their people and material and shoot out with all profits
• Inadequate project intervention impact perpetuate vulnerability of targeted groups to the current socio-economic ills.
• Development interventions are of ad-hoc nature and as such yield unsustainable Impact
• Unclear project exit strategies e.g. skills development and empowerment programmes , thus creating continuous Dependency Syndrome .
• Departments and other institutions work in SILOS resulting in duplication and uncoordinated interventions.

COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT
• Housing
• Water

(Irrigation &
Consumption)
• Food security
• Market linkage
ROADS IMPROVEMENT – Cooperation & Partnerships (DPWRT, DRDLR &
Municipalities)
• One of the major hindrances to rural development
is lack of access roads. This lead to ineffectiveness
of economic activities in the municipalities.
Improving access roads in rural communities
triggers economic growth.
• Paving of streets has been adopted to increase job
opportunities.
• Total of 369.57 km roads were worked
Paving of road in Dr Pixley ka Isaka Seme
• 4 867 Jobs Created
• 98 125 people benefited
• 369 km roads upgraded
• Bricks
manufactured by
cooperatives
ON-JOB TRAINING – Investing in skills (MRTT & DARDLA)
• The CRDP strategy emphasised
the development of skills as the
key factor of development.
• The programme therefore focuses
on skills training and development
in all CRDP sites.
• 1072 trained learners are
placed at different projects for on-
job training
• They work on real
projects to obtain real
experience (CIDB,
NHRBC)
• This is the recipe for
sustainability since
these trained people
apply their skills in
their own community.
• Skills stay in the
community forever
and projects survive
after Government
intervention come to
an end.

• Political and management leadership support. The programme and all its innovations have been
getting unwavering support from the political leadership and management from all provincial departments
• Local engagement. In addition to providing substantial matching funds to support rural development,
local governments have worked to ensure integration into local development planning, rather than being
stand-alone, top-down rural development initiative. Local government financing was also instrumental in
supporting the capacity development needed for the CRDP.
• Catalytic finance. While public funding accounted for well over 90 percent of total programme finance at
the start, by 2013 private sector was contributing almost 40 percent of the total funding via social
investment. Without this funding, the government alone could not have been scaled the programme.
• Community mobilization and local partnerships. Community empowerment has been key to ensuring
both effective local service delivery and longer-term sustainability. Training and collaboration with private
sector and local municipalities provided local entrepreneurs with better access to markets than it had
been before the intervention.
• Capacity development at all levels. The Programme focused on capacity development at all levels help
community members to better design, construct, and manage enterprises.
• Integrated planning and implementation. As a basket of services stakeholders plan together and align
their investments in line with identified community needs
