Thesis (MPA (School of Public Management and Planning))--University of Stellenbosch, 2007. / LED is the encouragement of a greater degree of local economic governance as an integral
component of the pursuits of local community goals. It is about a systemic approach that
manages community governance in such a way to achieve shared community goals and
objectives. The intent to promote LED has become an established feature in the Frances Baard
district, but certain constraints such as resource and skills constraints, lack of communication and
lack of guidance from the other spheres of government, hinder the delivery of LED at Local
Government level. LED is immersed in a line function environment that institutionally cannot
support or sustain it, unless broader institutional reform takes place to bring the LED Approach
into the mainstream of municipal and community decision making in terms of locating LED higher
up in the municipal hierarchy. There is confusion between the roles and responsibilities of the
Frances Baard District and local municipalities in terms of who should facilitate and guide the
economic development in the municipal area. The assessment of these difficulties and confusions
in terms of the institutional operations in the Frances Baard Local Government will identify and
develop important operational guidelines for the district and local municipalities to overcome
these shortcomings that occur within their organisations.
