a than days earlier than in the procedure of changing the nation. It is the
plan that tries to incorporate a pleasant a productiveness, higher socio-
economic equality, ambition and balance in social and financial

due to the fact there is poverty there. A lack of assets , lack of political
will , terrible planning and electrical energy theft is some predominant
instances that have resulted in many villages of rural areas going barring
electricity. While the urban areas appears like having an increase in
electrical energy consumption and capacity.
REDUCTION OF POVERTY

Reduction of poverty is fundamental because rural areas have the

excessive charge of poverty. Approximately 30% of the population is
poor , this figure fell to 21,92% in 2012. There is an urgent that is up to
Measures to alleviate poverty. Pandemic COVID 19 exacerbated their
already precarious situations by lowering the income , restricting the
mobility and jeopardising the food security. Despite persistence rural
areas advantages , rural poverty is decreasing fast than urban poverty.
In all but one country , the rate of rural poverty reduction has been faster

4.3 GOVERNMENT PROGRESS IN RESPECT OF RURAL

The department of rural development and land reforms has formed
number of programmes so that they could help those people who are In

care of they own people. The agri-parks programme will bring or put

lists standards against which performance was estimated.
4.4 Steps that government can take to speed the process of development regarding
rural development.
Government haven’t done much regarding rural development process. This process
is very slowly, there are many rural areas who doesn’t have water, electricity, proper
roads, clinics are miles away, schools are miles away there is lack of clean water
and the quality of life is poor.
The only time they try developing rural areas it is only when election days are
approaching, otherwise there is a lot of corruption in municipalities. They don’t
deliver public services to the community, they distribute it among themselves.
Certain rural areas have been developed a little bit, they installed streetlights, tar
roads and people are provided with clean water.
First of all, government must eliminate all corruptive leaders in order to achieve his
objective of improving quality of life of people living in rural areas. Corruption, misuse
of public finances of the public slows down the process of rural development. Basic
needs of people should come first to government. Public officials involved in
corruption must be eliminated in the public sector since they made it hard for
government to achieve his objectives in a given time frame.
Municipalities should be under strict watch to prevent the issue of corruption so that
all the services will reach people. More people should be employed for construction
of new bridges, tar roads, schools, clinics, etc. By so doing, they will achieve their
objectives in a time frame they planned for.
