Separate incentive packages were approved for the unemployed and retirees who wanted to
resettle. 16 The package for the unemployed includes:

► transportation for all approved settlers up to a maximum of eight persons (inclusive of father
and mother) per family, from the point of residence to the settlement area;

►     free food for a period of one year through the provision of maize meal coupons;

►     a grant in kind of K2,000 to each settler (upon certification that they have a minimum cleared

land area of 1 hectare) to cover costs of clearing the land, seeds, and fertilizer;"

► free lease preparation costs and survey fees; and

► a title deed to the plot for those within settlement schemes. (For those going into villages, the
settler had the responsibility to negotiate with the headman and the chief for the title deeds.)

The retirees with earnings of less than K12,000 in terminal benefits are entitled to:

► all of the incentives applicable to the unemployed;

► access to social amenities such as schools and clinics with an input of self-help;
