3 PROBLEM STATEMENT Sharpest regional disparities at present are between the three main metropolitan complexes and the rest of the country Three broad categories of regions are considered, these will be applied in determining potential impact scenarios for the RIDS: i. 52 Districts and Metros, in the nine provinces ii. main services hubs of a wider functional region or macroregion, in regions where potential and latent potential exists. iii. main production complexes of a cluster or corridor of interrelated industries

4 STRATEGIC INTENT OF RIDS TO ENABLE ALL AREAS IN OUR SA ECONOMY TO ATTAIN THEIR OPTIMAL ECONOMIC POTENTIAL; BY FACILITATING LOCAL DEVELOPMENT EMBEDDED IN A REGION/DISTRICT THROUGH LINKAGES WITHIN EXSTING AND LATENT INDUSTRIAL AND ECONOMIC BASE

5 STRATEGIC INTENT To stimulate investments that will promote sustained high growth in a local community To focus on a region s potential and identify what local stakeholders can and need to do to ensure their local community reaches its potential To assess a community s comparative advantage, identify new or existing market opportunities for businesses, and reduce obstacles to business expansion and creation To have an impact on the economic viability districts To create new jobs, help communities retain existing jobs, help businesses access capital To contribute to a broader national framework with a spatial dimension, in order to increase each region s global competitiveness.

8 The dti s APPROACH TO LED To bring together resources from within and outside the Community to address: local governments challenges on land management practices, outdated infrastructure, limited business planning and management skills, poor access to markets and market knowledge, and to promote economic growth in a systematic and organized manner at the local level To become a catalyst for promoting LED as a key ingredient to achieving broad-based and equitable economic growth by assisting: the local community to research its own economic strengths, agree upon a common strategy (Regional Industrial Road Map) and organize itself to implement the strategy (Indicative Industrial Business Plan).

9 LED INTERVENTION PROPOSITION The dti, in conjunction with the dplg and the presidency will assist district municipalities to, formulate their industrial road maps, form local growth coalitions, build local capacity and, finalise local growth business plans Each region s respective plan can serve as a national development trajectory; promoted to guide all sector departments interventions in that region. Bringing local stakeholders around one table in a form of a PPP helps to build trust, encourages innovation, fosters social cohesion, and thus decreases the risk of further conflict.
