Question

Balanced development is the property of which economy?

Answer 1

Balanced development is a prerequisite for sustainable economic growth and shared prosperity. This must encompass strengthening linkages between urban centres and rural areas and between more developed and less developed regions, and equitable distribution of necessities of life and creation of productive remunerative employment. Efficient infrastructure and services can facilitate complementary rural-urban development with diversification and commercialisation of rural economies. The MTDF aims to achieve these objectives through investments both by the public and private sector, improved governance, especially at the local level, and through the creation of more and better jobs for men and women in the workforce.
