About the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development

A unified development initiative combining the actions of initiation, facilitation, coordination, and implementation for rural expansion, is underway by the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) in South Africa.

The Department’s dynamics include corporate governance and service perfection within the boundaries of a set legal framework that has been established by DALRRD. Sustainability of land development is the purpose of the project, and its primary aim is to promote the viable production of land in rural areas.
