However, there are several challenges in the implementation of the programme including: • Land ownership and citizenship as important criteria to engage in this newplanting/re-planting rubber project. This is a challenge as there are many IP in Sabah that do not have personal documentation; • Bureaucracy in the process of application; and • Lax in the delivery system. To address some of the challenges, the SRIB has made several improvements including: • Improved land management methods and permanent farming system for smallholders’ plantation; • Transfer of new technology and training can be done effectively through a continuous consultation process provided by SRIB; • Additional cost for administrative and technical services which are not sufficiently subsidised by the Government will be absorbed by SRIB as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility; • Facilitation in the collection and purchasing of rubber by SRIB through the building of road in plantation areas in order to improve the efficiency of the SRIB delivery system; and • Provision of a steady and sustainable income, and able to increase their living standards. The revenue of this project will be paid in cash according to the market price of rubber. The SRIB project has led to the attainment of economic development amongst the IP in Sabah through which they enjoy a sustainable income, while continuing their traditional way of life that is in consistent with Article 21 108 of the UNDRIP and Article 2 109 of the United Nations Declaration on the Right to Development 110. 108 UNDRIP (n 48), Article 2: Article 2 31
