WHO ARE WE?
LED Projects that focus on the power of creative strategies.
Local Economic Development (LED) is a development strategy based on the use of endogenous resources to create production, jobs and income growth in a geographical area. In Ghana, the Local Governance Act, 2016 (Act 936) enjoins Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) to promote LED, support productive activities and remove any obstacles to initiative and development at the district level.
