This programme focuses mainly on the effective, appropriate and well planned acquisition of land for communities and their projects and includes all associated feasibility and planning work. It is noted that land acquisition for development projects in South Africa is typically a lengthy, resource intensive and technically challenging process requiring special expertise.

Initially PPT’s involvement was in respect of preparing housing and infrastructure projects, but given the ongoing broader challenges with land reform in South Africa, PPT may consider expanding its role to also include rural land reform, agrarian reform and land restitution projects should it be able to source donor funding for these purposes.
