INTRODUCTION: PSEDS is part of broader economic developmental policy within the province, hence it should not be implemented in isolation. PSEDS is meant to: q Focus where government directs investment and development initiatives; q Capitalise on complementarities and facilitate consistent and focused decision making; and q Bring about strategic coordination, interaction and alignment. The PSEDS is built on four pillars: q Increasing investment in the province; q Skills and capacity building; q Broadening participation in the economy; and q Increasing competitiveness.

BACKGROUND: KZN PSEDS was adopted by cabinet in 2007 and has since its adoption acted as a framework for the prioritization of spatial economic development initiatives in the province. The PSEDS aims to answer the question: “WHERE should development take place” Or put differently “WHERE should provincial government focus its’ RESOURCES? ” In a manner that is (1) sustainable and (2) ensures maximum impact

MOTIVATION: § Strategy was ‘out-of-date’ § Policy context has changed since the adoption of the § § PSEDS in 2007 To review update and enhance the original nodes and corridors The need to provide guidance on ‘WHAT’ (types of interventions needed in each district) To improve focus on rural development and poverty issues To move away from a hierarchical tiered structure to a balanced and integrated network of towns and cities

MOTIVATION: WHAT DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES ARE WE FACING AS A PROVINCE? § Spatial inequality in levels of economic development; § Agglomeration of economic activities in megacities § High income inequality; § Pockets of chronic poverty in both urban and rural areas § High unemployment § Jobless growth

MOTIVATION: WHY SPATIAL APPROACH TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT § § § § A launch pad for future interventions Acknowledgement of spatial economic imbalances by Govt; Focussed investment decisions; Efficient use of resources in addressing spatial inequalities Tactile method of expediting employment creation Approach to bridge the divide between 1 st and 2 nd economies Identifies geographical economic potential Aids budget formulation and implementation

MOTIVATION: POLICY ALIGNMENT AND LINKAGES National Policy imperatives. NDP, NGP, IPAP 2 etc §National Policy Priorities Industrial Development Strategy (IDS) Provincial Growth and Development Strategy (PGDS): Provincial Vision § Provincial Policy Priorities Provincial Spatial Economic Development Strategy (PSEDS) Industrial Development Strategy (IDS) Issue Specific policies § Investment § Export §Human Settlement §Renewable Energy §Rural Development Strategy Sector Strategies § Priority Sectors 8

MOTIVATION: PSEDS STRATEGIC THRUSTS SECTOR PRIORITIZATION Quick Wins CORRIDOR DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION AND GOVERNANCE q. Which Sectors to be prioritized? q. What selection criteria? q. District sector priorities q. PSEDS Economic Drivers project q. Sector Strategies- IDS, IPAP 2, Export & Investment Strategies q. Unpack Corridor Concept q. Review of Existing Sectors q. New Corridors q. Infrastructure Development q. Integrated Strategic Development Plan/PGDS q. Who should Spearhead Implementation? q. How should Municipalities contribute to PSEDS q. Resource Allocation q. Role of the Private sector MONITORING AND EVALUATION q. PSEDS Database q. Targets are too global- targets should be Clear, Relevant, Economic, Adequate and Monitorable (CREAM). q. Periodic review of the effectiveness of PSEDS interventions IMPLEMENTATION FRAMEWORK q. Role of Government q. Performance Indicators q. Targets q. Role of Private Sector q. Role of Municipalities q. Role of other Stakeholders q. Investment Attraction- Investment Strategy 9

MOTIVATION: WHAT SHOULD WE DO DIFFERENTLY? § § § Which sectors should we prioritize- heterogeneity nature of the province? Where do we want to invest- Corridor development vis-à-vis spatial? Corridor Development vis-à-vis rural development Space vis-à-vis people? How do we deal with high agglomeration of activities in e. Thekwini, u. Mthlathuze and Msunduzi corridors? How do we achieve balanced economic growth- Rural-Urban Migration? Do we have the resources- What are the resource requirements? How do we attract Private sector investment- Buy-in; How do we monitor and evaluate the strategy? What is the role of each department? What is the role of Municipalities?

MOTIVATION: MARRYING THE WHERE AND THE WHAT § Focusing on what type of development should take place in different § § regions/districts helps us to overcome some of the challenges of spatial prioritisation. If development is to take place in each district, investment should occur in the sectors which provide the greatest socio-economic return to investment. This leads to a new question of prioritisation, namely which sectors should be prioritised in each district? We need to know what each district does best, but not just that we need to know what each district does comparatively best? This ultimately has led us to taking a Comparative Advantage Approach to spatial economic development.

METHODOLOGY: The METHODOLOGY for this study seeks to use available evidence to provide an OBJECTIVE spatial framework for economic development interventions. The methodology adopted would therefore result in the following: 1. Development of an objective criteria for the identification of Nodes and Corridors 2. Mapping of the identified Nodes and Corridors 3. Establishment a broad framework for prioritising economic cluster interventions within each district 4. Alignment of EDTEA plans with all other plans in the three spheres of government (i. e. National Provincial and Local)

METHODOLOGY: CRITERIA FOR IDENTIFICATION OF NODES 1. Multi-Sectoral factors – e. g. population density / contribution to GDP / diverse services to international, national and provincial clients 2. Strategic factors – Medium population density with high growth / high economic growth (high potential for future economic growth), diverse services to provincial and regional economies. 3. Local Influence factors – e. g. Centres have significance as district and municipal centres providing services to the district and local municipality 4. Poverty Intervention factors – e. g. large populations with high levels of poverty, low employment levels and spatial isolation. PROVINCIAL PRIORITY NODES • • • Multi-Sectoral Strategic Poverty Intervention LOCAL PRIORITY NODES • Local Influence

DATA SOURCES: § Status Quo at Municipal level: § Population / Population Growth § GVA § Labour Indicators (employment / employment rate / employment growth) § Poverty Indicators (average income %<R 19600. 00 pa HDI) § District Economic Driver Profiles § Census Data (2001 and 2011) extracted from Super.

AGRICULTURAL LAND CATEGORIES Agricultural Land Category data was overlaid with the final node and corridor data to determine the % agricultural potential in each node / corridor Understanding agricultural land potential is essential in understanding the dynamics of rural communities and in formulating relevant strategies for rural development.

ANALYSIS: § Extract and analyse Census data for KZN (2001 and 2011) § Capture Nodes as points determined via a consultative process with various stakeholders § Capture Corridors as lines using roads dataset (DOT Master plan) § Capture all projects provided § Buffer Nodes and Corridors by 10 km § Overlay with Ward data and Agricultural Land Categories § Count Households § Calculate statistics for Nodes and Corridors § Use node and corridor statics project information and other input from relevant stakeholders to identify / confirm / classify in the following categories: § Multi-Sectoral § High Growth/Strategic § Local Influence § Poverty
