The RAPID (Revitalising Areas through Planning, Investment and Development) programme is a focused initiative by Government to front-load National Development Plan funding and improve the delivery of services in the most disadvantaged areas in the country. As no proposals from the areas in question have fallen within the remit of the Department of Foreign Affairs, there have been no funding implications for my Department.
