Drivers in Rural development

Social Focus on people at the heart of development, people thread

all the pillars together, and the pillars are to support people. Focus on rural livelihoods and well-being Rural development as driver for social cohesion Importance of formal and informal rural institutions Social services – health and education

Economic Includes economic areas under agriculture, livestock, fishery,

forestry as well as those not based on agriculture and natural resources

On and off-farm activity linkages to support rural livelihoods – households and individuals

Urban –rural link

Pillars of Rural Development

Natural Resources Sustainable natural resource management, include biodiversity, land,

water, livestock, soil, etc. Marginal agro-ecosystems (areas) require specific attention. Rights of access to, and control of natural resources in agricultural

production and forestry, particularly for women).

Infrastructure and Services Irrigation, rural water supply and sanitation, rural transport,

information system, health care, education, etc. Focus on inter-linkages between infrastructure and services

Good Governance Focus in increasing local government competencies in the

context of globalization and global market National implementation of global agreements and conventions Local participation in planning Transparcy and accountability

Pillars of Rural Development

Most local leaders have limited knowledge and awarenessResources needed, especially for infrastructure and rural

servicesAgricultural workforce 50%, lacking skills for industrialisation,

employment creation, scale of production (1.6 ha per household), and weak link in livestock development.

Financial mobilisation, updating policies (tax, credit, privatisation, socialisation, etc)

Fiscal decentralisation, predictable and known financial allocations

Low attention on climate changes threats and opportunities - DRR

RD strategy not differentiated for different areas such as poor, non-poor, rich and ethnic minority

Weak coordination across ministries and integration at the provincial level

Low attention on protecting heritage and traditional cultureLimited experience of NRD

Challenges

One Plan IIIOutput 1.1.2: Strategic development options defined and considered to promote inclusive, green, people-centered, and equitable development

Agencies: ILO, IFAD, IOM, UNESCO, UNHABITAT, UNIDO, FAO, UNEF, UNV.

One UN programme – Tam Nong

UNJP Programme framework Goals:

Rural people in a democratic society enjoying the benefits of better living standards, increased incomes, improved public service and social support systems .

Objectives:Improved policy environment and capacity to

plan and implement Tam Nong Resolution Period: 2012 - 2016

The objective will be achieved by: Enhancing farmers’ knowledge for raising incomes,

through increasing access level of farmers to new farming technologies, off-farm production skills, good practices and lesson learnt from successful pilots.

Building an incentive policy environment, which will be conducted by enabling strategic and policy capacity for economic and social public service investment;

Enhancing state management performances for NTP-NRD implementation through the capacity building, multi-sectoral coordination, participatory planning and budgeting, results based monitoring and evaluation

UNJP Multi-sectoral approachNeeds of multi-sectoral approach:

Rural development (RD) is complex, cutting across several sectors and involving various policies and actions.

A close coordination among ministries and state agencies must be taken.

A great number and diversity of stake holders involved: millions of farmers, non-farming households, civil societies and mass organisations, cooperatives, private sector, central and local government, public sector authorities and service providers, etc.
