๏‚–
The strategies of rural development have benefited and
continue to benefit a large number of rural people. These
benefits include:
๏‚™ creating employment opportunities for the rural poor
๏‚™ creating income generating activities which gradually
reduce dependence on activities which do not create
income
๏‚™ discouraging or reducing rural-urban migration
๏‚™ self-sufficiency in food production
๏‚™ development of rural areas
๏‚™ fairly balanced developments between rural and urban
areas.
Benefits
๏‚–These strategies are also not without problems or difficulties and these include:
๏‚™ lack of basic skills by rural dwellers
๏‚™ illiteracy contributes to failure of schemes and projects
๏‚™ lack of supervision by credit agents
๏‚™ lack of time - there is always hurry and pressure for quick results which results in
failure of projects
๏‚™ lack of adequate research which contributes to failure of many projects
๏‚™ natural hazards like human and livestock diseases as well as climatic conditions like
drought and floods can also disorganise these strategies
๏‚™ lack of foreign sponsors (donors) which may be due to unstable political situations as
is the case in Zimbabwe
๏‚™ corruption - there is a lot of corruption involved in implementing these strategies
๏‚™ lack of banking systems in our rural areas shortage of land lack of water and other
crucial resources.
