    Sub-regional Conference on Local Economic Development
    Local Economic Development (LED) has emerged as an attractive alternative to traditional development strategies, its advantage being the ability to tailor strategies to the local setting. The global economy increased inequalities and Regional disparities, resulting in an accelerating trend towards Regional devolution and decentralisation in many parts of the world. This has created opportunities for new strategies based on local economies. The current global economic crisis has exposed the vulnerability of local economies in the global system and has made LED an even more urgent choice.
