A/HRC/15/37/Add.2 of the settlements visited by the Special Rapporteur expressed deep discontent over having to move from their traditional lands. As one informed source has observed, the relocation was not a “simple geographical movement of people”, but rather “a whole social transformation of a community that has depended on a certain environment from time immemorial”.6 32. The Basarwa have been particularly affected by a uniform approach to development that lacks sensitivity to diverse cultural patterns. They have traditionally maintained a hunter-gatherer subsistence way of life, which is in tension with Remote Area Development Programme initiatives to relocate them into settled communities in favour of a sedentary, agro-pastoralist lifestyle. As a result, many residents of remote area settlements remain dependent on Government handouts, which creates a feeling of despair and difficulty in maintaining a culturally appropriate and sustainable livelihood. Furthermore, it is evident that the lack of cultural adaptation of development programmes is impeding their ultimate success. 33. Many residents of remote area settlements have insufficient land to carry out basic subsistence activities, like gathering or grazing the cattle given to them under the Remote Area Development Programme. In Kaudwane, for example, residents stated that they have access only to small plots, and that there is insufficient land for hunting and gathering purposes or for raising livestock. Likewise, Mababe residents complained of insufficient land for cultivation and gathering of wild fruits, and stated that the restrictions that Government has imposed on their use of land prevent them from hunting or raising livestock. 2. Social services 34. Beyond the poverty reduction development initiatives, the design and delivery of social services, including in the areas of health and education, likewise require greater accommodation to diverse cultural practices and values. 35. The Special Rapporteur acknowledges the concerns expressed by the Government over the difficulties posed in offering a health-care system that incorporates and respects both Western and traditional medicinal practices. Nonetheless, he highlights the need to enhance the understanding of and respect for traditional medicine, which continues to be practised among indigenous communities but remains largely excluded from the Government health system. In this regard, the Special Rapporteur notes the Government initiative to draft a traditional health practice bill in consultation with traditional health practitioners associations and international bodies such as the World Health Organization. As that initiative progresses, the Special Rapporteur stresses the importance of additionally consulting with community members themselves to address their respective needs and concerns. 36. Regarding education, the Special Rapporteur commends the Government for its commitment to ensuring universal access to education and notes the aspects of the national school curriculum and educational planning that call for an awareness of diverse cultures. However, interviews with parents and educators at the community level, as well as with officials of the Ministry of Education in the capital, indicate insufficient funding for education programmes targeted at marginalized indigenous groups and a lack of genuine cultural sensitivity in the development, design and implementation of education 6 10 A.M.
