Rural Economy Transformation Model

Summary

The provided documents outline the official Policy on the Application of the Rural Economy Transformation Model (RETM), a structured mechanism utilized by the Commission on Restitution of Land Rights. This policy defines the process for settling land claims where communities or descendants have opted for either full land restoration or the granting of alternative state-owned land. Implementation of the RETM is broken into two concurrent stages: Stage One focuses on establishing the necessary Governance Structures for land management, while Stage Two concentrates on the development of the restored land. To facilitate economic activity and growth, the policy mandates the creation of a separate Development Structure and promotes the use of the Share-Equity Joint Venture Enterprise model for private-public partnerships. Ultimately, the framework aims to ensure institutional accountability.
