Event: Strategic Planning on LED

University of Johannesburg is conducting this training:

Government wants to turn around municipalities from struggling with failure to ones that are confident in their abilities to execute their service delivery mandates.

All of us must rise to the challenge of ensuring our municipalities are sites of excellence and they are led and staffed politically and administratively with office
bearers and public servants who are responsive, professional accountable, efficient, effective, and carry out their duties with civic pride. "
Here is the answer to this challenge, register for this training workshop and make local government your business.

It is this belief that inspired the development of this training series on LED.
Strategic planning for LED is a pragmatic and powerful tool that can help significantly address local issues. By engaging in a strategic planning process for LED, at a minimum, this offers a way to improve the necessary interaction among business, government, labour and the poor. If done well, it provides a way to clarify competitive advantages, identify cooperative opportunities, craft innovative options and generate strategies that better achieve local priorities.
At the heart of all this is the vision to help communities to realise vibrant, resilient and sustainable local economies capable of improving the quality of life for all.

Expected Outcomes of the training
While many results are anticipated, three key outputs are targeted:
1. Capacity-Building – A better understanding of, and ability to act and develop local economic development turnaround  strategies;
2. A Written Strategy – An articulated plan of action for undertaking local economic development in a local area (e.g., district, city, town or neighborhood); and
3. Implementation – A significantly greater chance of successful on-the-ground implementation of local economic development actions, resulting from increased capacity, stakeholder buy-in and a realistic plan of action.
