Facilitate LED process

The primary role of the LED unit is to facilitate LED to ensure that all the role players work together systematically, effectively and efficiently to identify the best ways to improve the local economy (strategy) and organise that this is followed through to execution. Two channels of improvement need to be provided for:

·          Pro-active identification and pursuit of catalytic initiatives with high impact (subject to annual participative planning and budgeting cycles), and  

·          Quick response to issues and opportunities that arise randomly (Real-time LED: where stakeholders respond immediately to issues and opportunities, to improve in a matter of days or weeks).
