LED Policy Brief 4: Findings on urban and rural pro-poor LED in South Africa

by Alex — last modified 2008-10-07 19:30
This briefing reports on a study of pro-poor local economic development in 30 urban and 50 rural municipalities of South Africa. Very different conditions can be seen ranging from the small rural to large urban municipalities but examples of more–or-less success can be seen in all size groups. 56% of municipalities have LED units, similar in reporting urban and rural municipalities, but in rural areas this is often only one person. There is a common view that economic growth will by itself ensure poverty reduction, which is dangerous in a dualistic society such as South Africa.
