Local Economic and Enterprise Development

In deploying rural-youth change-agent networks we have worked extensively with local and traditional authorities. From this we developed a big-picture view of technology-enhanced socio-economic development, which highlights the role of our “boxes, business and behaviour” focus in straddling the various gaps.

To help local and regional / district authorities position themselves effectively within this big picture — and to develop comprehensive yet implementable local economic development (LED) plans and projects — we developed the decision framework and supporting tools below.
