Characteristics and performance of resettlement programs: A review (original) (raw)

The review of settlement programs indicates that many are founded on the incorrect assumption that all settlers will succeed, which leads to centralized structures and inflexibility. Instead, effective programs require decentralized approaches, individual land rights, and the ability to sell or rent land. Collective farming has shown high failure rates, suggesting a need for individual allocation of land and a mix of grant support rather than credit financing for better outcomes in settler success.
