their implementation was turned over to it. ¹² While in theory this new department had the
responsibility charged to it, in practice it was unable to function effectively because it lacked both
trained personnel and resources. As a result, each individual district office took over responsibility
for schemes in its area. In 1992, the Department of Resettlement again took responsibility for all
schemes, although the staffing situation had not improved substantially. Under the current government,
the Department of Resettlement is in the office of the vice president, and the responsibility for
planning of all settlement programs and coordination of their implementation rests with it. The
department now has a slight improvement in its staffing. However, with the huge responsibility with
which it is charged, there is still much need for expansion of resources.

IV. Settler selection procedures and assistance provided

The procedure for selection of settlers involves six steps, which can take several months to
complete. People wishing to resettle in land settlement scheme areas are first required to make this
known to the government by registering their names at the council office of residence. They then must
complete an application form (Form DR 1), which is filled out in triplicate, giving such details as the
size of family, profession and skill, and suggested destination/area of settlement.

Data on the establishment of certain schemes were already lacking when files were transferred to this department in
1989, and further data were lost in subsequent transfers.
