  4. Key LED Concepts • Capital • Total Economy • Leakage • Business enabling environment • Cooperation VS competition

  5. Ten Steps to PlanningExcellence

  6. LED Tools and Action IdeasThere are 31 Action Ideas for LED

  7. Relevant LED Action Ideas

  8. Romania Afghanistan India Indonesia Korea Nepal Pakistan Philippines Vietnam Kenya Rwanda Tanzania Uganda Senegal Brazil Chile Mexico Regional tool development • manual adaptation and translation • training of trainers • action planning • follow up Activities Egypt Jordan Palestine Somalia Sudan Syria Yemen

  9. Local application: Horezu, Romania • Town Center Upgrading • Sustainable Tourism Strategy---moving to super local • Value adding activities in agriculture • LG capacity building

  10. Regional Collaboration-Philippines • Iloilo City and the nearby Guimaras province as one economic development area-agriculture, fisheries and tourism • Competition and complementarities-Baracay (tourism), Negros (fisheries), Cebu (commerce and trade) • Strategic areas of devt: tourism (agro and heritage, transportation and communication)

  11. Adapting at the national level: Vietnam • Adapting the LED series for local socio economic development planning (language, context, content, ) • Modules for province, district and commune and for officials and technical staff • Testing in 4 provinces before rolling out nationally

  12. Lessons of Experience • Good assessments and champions are essential • Getting the private sector on board is a key challenge • We should look for “Quick Wins” –Technical capacity and funding is the challenge here • LAs can play a critical role in improving cost of doing business and building partnerships • Local should be defined flexibly and in a dynamic context

  13. Reflecting … • LAs are not yet proactive on LED (knowledge on role, exposure to tools, and practices elsewhere) + structural and governance aspects • Entry barriers for informal and small operators to take advantage of public investments and procurements (regulatory reform + contractual provision in big contractors + capacity building of small contractors) • Opportunity for inter-municipal economic development cooperation/regional approach? • Which sectors most benefit from improvement in water and sanitation sectors (this could be part of LE assessment and priority for investment promotion)

  14. Reflecting… • Entreprenuership culture and drive are equally critical as the finance and the hardware aspects (what business start up and development service providers are there, how are they performing and what can we do to strengthen them) • Need building on previous efforts (CDS??) • The economics of service delivery in the context of small towns (a win win business model for LAs, service operators?) • Serious concern about M & E; but this needs indicators, base line and process; and only the local communities determine it
