The successful implementation of the Gijima KZN continues - a partnership program between the European Union and the KZN Provincial Government aimed at supporting local economic development in the province.
The European Union is South Africa’s largest source of donations. Our R1 billion (One Billion Rand) Annual Development Co-operation Budget spans areas as diverse as education, water and sanitation and the entrenchment of a human-rights culture.
The Gijima KZN LED Support Programme is proposing to undertake a study tour to Brazil from 23rd August until 3rd September 2008. The key objective of the tour is to expose a multi-stakeholder group of 15 LED practitioners from provincial and local government, business and civil society to best LED practice in Brazil at the regional and local levels. Nominations for places on the tour are now being taken.
