Transformation of the rural sector to serve the needs of the rural poor - an example from the Free State, South Africa
This report documents an ambitious attempt at transformation of the agriculture and rural sector, in the Free State, South Africa. This was initiated by a new MEC for Agriculture, Cas Human, supported by DFID (then ODA) through the Rural Strategy Unit (RSU). The report is based on research conducted in June and July 1998 including interviews with stakeholders in and outside the Department of Agriculture (DoA), workshops with departmental divisions, and a PLA exercise conducted in Parys/Tumahole.
