Description:
Government clients and task teams have expressed increasing interest in income generation and job creation for the poor through CDD and local economic development (LED) approaches. LED can be explained as “a process by which public, business and non-governmental sector partners work collectively to create better conditions for economic growth and employment generation” World Bank (2006). To learn from Bank projects implementing LED approaches in rural areas, the CDD GSG undertook a global literature review and identified 19 projects that emphasize: a) a territorial, spatial development focus; b) linking poor people to economic opportunities; and c) infrastructure investments that promote local value chains. This learning event focuses on three of these projects, and lessons learned.
