1.3 Refer to the extract on frameworks for development below.

Madikwe has the distinction of being one of the few game reserves in the
world to be proclaimed purely on the grounds of being the most appropriate
and sustainable land use for an area, run as a joint venture between the state,
the private sector and local communities.

The project aims to involve the local community in wealth creation through
tourism, skills and training. A number of impressive projects in the local
Supingstad community have been achieved so far. The social responsibility
programme is delivering tangible results at the various local schools which
includes the fencing and safe keeping of the school properties, upgrading the
school sports fields and playgrounds, renovating school buildings and
facilities, setting up vegetable gardens and computer rooms, sinking a
borehole and installing guttering, water tanks and toilets with running water at
the high school.

Guests visiting the lodge are offered the opportunity to visit the Supingstad
schools and some traditional historical sites. The Tau foundation has also
granted university sponsorship to students with academic potential and
stimulates performing arts by employing the high-school learners in singer-
dance groups.

1.5 Study the case study on globalisation below.

[Source: https://www.healthleadersmedia.com/covid-19]

Could the coronavirus bring about the 'decline of globalisation'?'

Nobody knows how long the Covid-19 epidemic will last. If it does not become
less contagious, nervous populations around the world may have to wait until
a vaccine is developed and rolled out.
In any case, factory closures and production suspensions are already
disrupting global supply chains. So far, at least, financial commentators have
focused on cost calculations for particular sectors: automakers worried about
shortages of parts; textile makers deprived of fabric; luxury-goods retailers
starved of customers; and the tourism sector, where cruise ships, in
particular, have become hotbeds of contagion (areas where the virus has
spread rapidly).
But there has been relatively little reflection on what the new climate of
uncertainty means for the global economy.
To the USA, the Chinese origins of the disease will simply reaffirm the belief
that China poses a danger to the world and cannot be trusted.
*CORONAVIRUS – A very contagious virus that spreads easily amongst humans and
can cause a variety of diseases that can sometimes lead to death.

coronavirus throughout the world. (2 x 2) (4)
1.5.6 Explain why the economic impact of the coronavirus would be
worse in less economically developed countries LEDCs. (2 x 2) (4)
