Grow the economy and increase jobs by expanding irrigated agriculture

Support to communal farming – secure tenure
Collaboration between commercial and land reform beneficiaries.

5. PLANNING AND INITIAL IMPLEMENTATION PROCESSES
Consultations held with over 25 stakeholders consisting of farmer organisations, private sector and Land Bank
Inclusion of other partners to increase production capability of current land be it communal or land reform or private
TORs formulated for the Planting Season Task Team (PSTT) and shared in 2 meetings
Task Team Implementation Plan developed – it addresses:
Key activities, broken down into tasks and further into milestones;
Demarcating hectares into communal, land reform and private;
Comparing lists of beneficiaries to curb double dipping and
Consultations at Provincial level
Verification on the status of tractors by the DAFF Engineers is ongoing currently, noting the tractor system installed by the WC and the intention to roll it out in the Country
List of organisations and their tasks in no order of priority.
Funding request developed for submission to DGs of DRDLR, DAFF and COGTA and Land Bank
Process to engage Traditional Leaders underway via COGTA
