Abstract
The aim of this research analyses municipal economic development capacity,
using Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality (EMM) as a case study. The research
report endeavours to find out whether EMM’s Local Economic Development
(LED) unit is adequately equipped to implement the Policy Guidelines for
Implementing Local Economic Development in South Africa (a draft LED policy).
This report argues that municipalities must be well resourced or capacitated to
implement local economic development. However, the capacity problem has
been a serious challenge in South Africa, particularly on issues of service
delivery, nevertheless, studies have not adequately been done in relation to
municipal capacity to implement LED. Additionally, this report established an
understanding with regard to the role of municipalities in implementing LED.
The report also discusses challenges confronting EMM’s LED unit as an institution
to promote LED within the metro. However, this report also concludes that
EMM’s LED unit is one of the well performing, perhaps resourced municipalities
in terms of LED implementation.
