The Rural and Regional Development Ministry (KKDW) has outlined four key focuses: human capital development, entrepreneurship, economy and bureaucratic reform, to guide its direction this year. These focuses will be refined during a retreat involving 140 ministry staff members. Last year's retreat led to the rebranding of the Hardcore Poor Housing Programme (PPRT) and increased aid amounts for new house construction projects and repairs.
KUALA LUMPUR: The Rural and Regional Development Ministry has outlined four main focuses, namely human capital development, entrepreneurship, economy and bureaucratic reform, as the foundation for its direction this year, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
