It is a process by which public, business, and non-governmental sector partners work collectively to create better conditions for economic growth and employment generation. The success of a community today depends upon its ability to adapt to the dynamic local, national, and international market economy. Strategically planned LED is increasingly used by communities to strengthen the local economic capacity of an area, improve the investment climate, and increase the productivity and competitiveness of local businesses, entrepreneurs and workers. The ability of communities to improve the quality of life, create new economic opportunities and fight poverty depends upon them being able to understand the processes of LED, and act strategically in the changing and increasingly competitive market economy. This Primer highlights examples of good practice in local economic development strategic planning and implementation, and draws on the lessons and experiences gained from the Cities of Change local economic development network as well as experiences from other programs across the globe.  Réduire
