Deadline: 29 January 2018
OSF-SA is seeking a partner to implement 1) a scoping project on land and economic inclusion in South Africa and 2) an evaluation and analysis of the High Level Panel on the Assessment of Legislation and the Acceleration of Fundamental Change (Motlanthe Panel Report).
This is a two-part project to develop potential pathways for an open society approach to advance economic inclusion, poverty reduction and inequality with a focus on land, women and youth.
- PART A: Scoping. The output will include a research report with a roadmap for developing an approach and presentation prepared for OSF-SA. Specifically, considering the following:
- How can we establish a rights-based approach to promote land rights for marginalised groups particularly women and youth?
- How can land reform and access to land be used to advance socio-economic rights and sustainable livelihoods?
- How do we implement a high-level audit to understand land ownership across all provinces, to inform current debates and policy proposals on land reform?
- PART B: Analysis. The output will include an assessment report with infographics for public dissemination to different audiences. Specifically, considering the following:
- Conduct an in-depth analysis and evaluation of the proposals made in the Motlanthe Panel Report to determine entry points for economic inclusion of marginalised groups, especially women and youth in the context of land rights.
- What are the specific policy recommendations from the Motlanthe Panel Report and to what extent will they promote economic inclusion for marginalised groups, particularly women and youth?
- How can government reformulate land reform to ensure that it contributes to economic inclusion and sustainable livelihoods?
- Beyond policy, how do we overcome the implementation gaps for those policies that have potential to contribute to economic inclusion?
- What economic and spatial linkages (e.g. labour, markets, agro-processing) need to be developed/leveraged to ensure that rural economic activities contribute to economic inclusion?
