So you are in local government and you need to deliver on local economic development?

PACA

PACA gives you a tool to identify activities, involve the private sector, identify champions, create excitement and get visible results quickly. And quickly means: within a matter of months. What you do is this:

• You contact PACA Specialists in your country. They will brief you on the resources and activities necessary to prepare for PACA. Allow three to six weeks for the preparation and build-up for the first PACA Exercise.
• A team of PACA Specialists will then conduct, with participation from your side and other relevant local players, a PACA Exercise. This takes no more than two weeks and leads to the identification of quickly implementable LED activities and the identification and motivation of champions.
• A variety of local actors will then start defining and implementing practical LED activities which lead to quick wins -- sometimes within days or weeks, usually within a few months.
