“CRED”

…a new model of rural development with comprehensive and inclusive approaches is vital to achieve more innovation and modernising the rural economy.

The key to rural economic development is to ensure sustainable economic growth that can support the rural population. In this respect, a new model of rural development programme that is more comprehensive and inclusive is vital to enhance the innovation and modernisation of the rural economy.

The current focus by the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development with its new theme `Urbanize the Rural’ is indeed very timely. The initiative seeks ways to ensure that the rural economy continues to flourish by promoting creative new businesses and entrepreneurship ventures. This is one of the nine focuses under the newly developed Rural Development Policy 2020-2050 (RDPTN50) which includes economy, human capital, youth, health, infrastructure, environment, and governance.

This new approach to the rural development programmes is focused more on economic activities geared towards a more sustainable development on a regional basis.
