  1. Essential Features of PACA Jörg Meyer-Stamer

  2. Shift in development paradigm • from long-term planning to short-term action • from top-down to bottom-up • from government-driven to public-private partnership

  3. Development work is process management • There is no linear sequence: capacity building – creation of institutions – implementation/delivery • You understand a problem best if you try to solve it • Development is an iterative process • The most relevant element of learning is learning-by-doing • A key challenge for development work is to set the stage and to shape learning-by-doing • Development is a lengthy, painful process • You need quick wins to get motivation.

  4. Institutions are a response to problems • The principle of institution building: form follows function • you design an institution in a tailored way to address a clearly identified problem • If you start a development process by creating an institution, you are creating a problem, not solving a problem • The creation of institutions must emerge from problem-solving and learning processes among local stakeholders

  5. Shift in approach to LED promotion • Driven by opportunity • Based on local resources • Business-driven • Not primarily addressing the main sector, but the motivated sector • Little emphasis on strategy as plan • Iterative process • Open and open-ended process (“perspectivic incrementalism”) • Action learning • Main Role of LED Agents: Facilitation

  6. Facilitation • Efficient facilitation of LED • Mobilise local knowledge • Connect local knowledge and players • Connect and contrast local and external knowledge • Contrast perceptions and facts • Make local players learn that they can do things they never thought of • Permits local government to project commitment to business, to establish communication channels with business

  7. New understanding of government role in development • Unburden government • less delivery by government • government as facilitator • Deal constructively and pragmatically with fragmentation of government agencies • problem-oriented connection of agencies (instead of re-organisation, “co-ordination”) • Move government out of the way of business

  8. LED in the PACA Way: Doing things differently or doing different things? Both! • Doing things differently: • driven by opportunities • looking at short-term results • maximising the efficiency in the use of time • Doing different things: • addressing market failure • stimulate business networking • addressing fragmentation of institutions and actors in a project- and opportunity-driven way

  9. Development and refinement of highly effective mini- workshop formats and other diagnostic tools Documentation and codification of PACA process = facilitate transfer and training Scanning of international good practice Execution and evaluation of PACA Projects worldwide Scanning of research / academic literature on territorial development and upgrading Key elements of PACA: The product and its evolution Territorial upgrading Territorial change management
