Development Southern Africa, 2010, vol. 27, issue 4, 481-495

Abstract: Since the democratic transition, local economic development has been a growing feature of development planning in South Africa. The major objective of national government promotion of local economic development (LED) in South Africa is to forge robust and sustainable local economies. This paper analyses 15 years' experience of LED planning, and identifies strategic challenges that face LED planning in South Africa.
