51 residential and social service needs of former farm workers, new workers, retired workers and non-farm artisans. These would provide for residential plots that include small garden areas, and social services as required per capita in new resettlement schemes and should be the focus for providing common utilities such as schools, clinics and business centres for the entire resettlement population. In the medium term, there will be a need for Government to support, for a period of about three years, the completion of the rehabilitation of displaced farm workers. Government assistance will be required (e.g. through public works programs) in housing development, Government-farm worker collaboration in developing infrastructure in the new farm worker communities (schools, roads, clinics and other amenities) as well as in developing the capacity to protect their employment condition. Government, (NGOs and donors) also need to assist in meeting the food and health needs of the very vulnerable among the farm workers. The resettlement process created conflicts between settlers and former farm workers which need to be healed if harmony is to be restored. In the medium term, the coexistence of former farm workers and new settlers should be promoted, through counselling and mediation, to enhance unified local community structures, including social committees and development associations which encourage the integration of former farm workers and ensure that they continue to provide a valuable service to the farming communities. 6.4.3 Handling of Special Enterprise Farms. A number of farm enterprises are critical to the country’s industrial base and export potential. As such Government should strive to retain former farmers in special enterprises (e.g. horticulture, seed, agro-industrial complexes, and those under BIPAs) on right sized plots. In this regard, two issues need to be addressed simultaneously: the allocations of right sized plots to remaining white farmers, and the completion of the repossession or surrender of multiple owned plots by indigenous and white farmers. 6.4.4 Compensation. It is important to note that real security of tenure on acquired farms may not be realised until the former owners have been fully compensated for farm infrastructure. It is also a known fact that some of the former owners actually bought their farms after independence and as such, there is a moral obligation to consider some form of compensation beyond just the infrastructure. Towards that end, constructive dialogue with the international community, especially the British Government, is critical to assist such farmers who have become innocent victims of the political impasse currently prevailing with the British Government. 6.4.5 Dispute Resolution relating to Disputed Land and Infrastructure Acquisition
