Business models in land reform
Abstract
This paper reviews the types of business models, or landuse
models, being implemented in land reform projects
involving the transfer of rural land to communities and
other groups in South Africa, under both the restitution and
redistribution programmes. It draws heavily on the series
of Diagnostic Studies prepared as part of the Sustainable
Development Consortium’s (SDC) work on post-settlement
support, but also draws from other studies on restitution,
notably that conducted by the Community Agency for
Social Enquiry (CASE) in 2005, and the wider literature on redistributive land reform in South Africa.
