Document: Process Case Study Local Red Tape Reduction - Steve Tshwete Municipality, Mpumalanga Province, South Africa

Responding to the growing demand for practical approaches to reduce Red Tape, GTZ’s Local Economic Development (LED) Project in South Africa, in conjunction with the Department of Provincial and Local Government (dplg), has developed a facilitation model for Red Tape reduction at the local level. The model aims at supporting local stakeholders in the reduction and avoidance of bureaucratic costs both for the public and the private sector by facilitating a multi-stakeholder discussion and a joint action process in a locality.
