Sample text
As recognition of development agencies as effective mechanisms to stimulate and reinforce sustainable local development has increased, there has been a noticeable trend of the literature to provide more practical insights into the subject. This reflects the increasing appetite of local leaders wanting to establish new agencies or to maximise the performance of those already in operation. In a 2009 paper called “How to Define the Optimum Administrative and Geographic Boundaries for a Local Economic Development Agency”, ILS LEDA defines a method for “identifying the optimum administrative and geographic boundaries” for a development agency based on indicators such as number of resident, proximity, territorial specific personality, and critical mass of resources (ILS LEDA, 2009b).
ILS LEDA defines development agencies as “legal, none profit structures, generally owned by the public and private entities of the territory” which act as a mechanism through which “local actors plan and activate, in a shared way, initiatives for territorial economic development; identify the most convenient instruments for their realisation; and enhance a coherent system for their technical and financial support” (ILS LEDA, 2007a). Though slightly outdated, this accepted definition captures the essence of what development agencies are as well as their broad purpose.
Because the nature of local development challenges and opportunities vary from place to place, and over time, DAs also vary. Their objectives, activities, structures, tools, roles and strategies all display a high level of diversity. The common denominators between these organisations are that they: (1) are guided by local governments but operate at arm’s length from them; (2) adopt an effective, business-facing approach; (3) are highly collaborative; (4) set clear aims and objectives; and (5) focus on implementation at scale and pace.
