4. Supporting infrastructure
One Cape 2040 is a living document and requires on-
going innovation, experimentation and updating. This
needs to be supported by:
1. One Cape institutional partnership (via EDP) which:
• Creates a space for permanent innovation and
experimentation
• Allows for co-ordination, collaboration and organising
around the strategy, key outcomes and interventions
• On-going mandate and roles development
2. Development of economic leadership capacity
3. The development of aligned plans between all
three spheres of government (including resource
allocation)
4. Monitoring and evaluation
5. Communication

5. Processes and tools needed:
• Single databank of reliable economic data (e.g. WCG synergy
meeting in July – PERO/ MERO; PSDF Review; Growth Potential
of Towns; GIS mapping, etc.) Thereafter bring in local
government, national government, private sector and
knowledge institutions
• On-going research to support the continued improvement of
the plan (evidence-based planning)
• The development and activation of a Western Cape
Competitiveness Index
• PERO recommendations (Provincial Treasury - September)
• Review of LED strategy (DEDAT - October)
• On-going recalibration of institutional relationships to better
support economic development (via EDP members and
partners)
