Ministry of the Interior | Kingdom of Eyehasseen
“Strong hamlets build strong nations.”
📘 Overview
The Rural Development Agency (RDA) is the government body within the Ministry of the Interior responsible for advancing the growth, sustainability, and prosperity of rural communities throughout the Kingdom of Eyehasseen. Founded in 1956, the RDA was created in response to the Post-Caravan Resettlement Act, which sought to stabilize small villages after decades of nomadic land use and spontaneous border rearrangements.
Today, the RDA serves as the Kingdom’s central institution for supporting village infrastructure, rural housing, agricultural cooperatives, small trade development, and civic engagement in outlying districts.
