Technical Assistance for Economic Cluster Development

The South African Local Government Association is inviting proposals for the appointment of a service provider to offer technical assistance in the implementation of the Regional Economic Cluster Development Programme. This initiative aims to foster economic development by creating synergies among local businesses, government entities, and community organizations within designated regions. The selected service provider will be responsible for developing strategic frameworks, facilitating stakeholder engagement, and providing capacity-building workshops to enhance local economic initiatives.

Key responsibilities include conducting needs assessments, identifying potential economic clusters, and recommending best practices for regional collaboration. The service provider will also be tasked with monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of the programme, ensuring that it aligns with national economic goals and local development plans. This project is expected to run for a defined period, with deliverables outlined in the attached Terms of Reference document, which includes specific timelines and performance indicators.

By participating in this tender, service providers will contribute to the sustainable economic growth of various regions, ultimately benefiting local communities and enhancing the overall economic landscape of South Africa. The successful implementation of this programme is anticipated to lead to increased job creation, improved local infrastructure, and greater investment opportunities within the targeted areas.
