Rural Areas Economic Development Project The Rural Areas Economic Development Programme (RAEDP) investment is directed towards: (i) improving the efficiency and profitability of the market economy throughout supply and value chains, (ii) creating jobs in the form of wage labour & self-employment) in on-farm and off-farm enterprises that can attract women and men away from a reliance on own production for own consumption into participating in a more efficient market economy; and (iii) by drawing many people out of primary production, simultaneously to create the space and opportunity for other, more committed farmers to modernize and further commercialize their operations. To be effective in these respects it is important for the design to ensure a widening of opportunity at the smaller-scale end of the investment spectrum, while explicitly recognizing the positive benefits throughout the spectrum of simultaneous &  complementary investments at successive levels in supply & value chains.
