Bringing together the Department Of Land Reform, Rural Development and Agriculture will indeed ensure alignment, discarding duplication and maximising human and financial resources that we have. This process will also ensure that we identify necessary partnerships that can be used to improve our delivery model to the farmers in particular. Given that land is a national function with provincial foot prints, it will be of value in complementing the work of provincial departments and districts. This will require strong intergovernmental framework between us at a political level as well as in the administration level.
