The result should be to alleviate poverty and unemployment and inclusion with economic opportunities.

• Supporting local government and LED agents and actors to boost innovation-driven LED through knowledge material, products and tools, capacity building and decision-support tools.
• Local Agriculture systems of Innovation and Production

There is a demand for these, most are indigenous and some rare and slow growing, thus highly prized.

The Directorate works with sector departments (for example the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development, Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries), funding bodies, grassroots innovators, and local government and implementer, to help grow the potential of local/priority value chains and clusters. This aim is approached through the use of science, technology and innovation.

● The LIVING LABS programmer aims to establish community-based co-creation innovation labs and support programmes that enables the youth to become innovators and local stakeholders to play a part in creating solutions towards increasing the spatial footprint of innovation in South Africa. The locations that the ICT-based facilities are mostly set up in are rural communities (especially), peri-urban and township communities.

● Local Innovation and Assessment Toolbox (LIAT) is designed to assist district municipalities and other LED actors and agents to understand their local innovation landscapes. LIAT can be useful in assisting with innovative actors to partners interactions i.e. innovative businesses, knowledge organisations, government and the non-profit sector. Inclusively, focused development and maximum local resources use is the route that is used towards South African development with optimum social, economic and environmental growth results.

• Understanding the characteristics, nature and potential of linkages to the national system of innovation (NSI).
• Understanding how far local government is ready to foster innovation-driven LED.
• Grasping the extent of the existence and proximity to innovation infrastructure.

LIAT COMMUNITY of PRACTICE (CoP) objectives are as follows:

• Developing strong relationships, linkages and interactions among local actors (municipalities and private sector, communities and civil society, universities, TVET and community colleges).
• To increase among CoP members at local level a co-generational knowledge sharing, networking and co-learning.
• To improve and customize the LIAT to compliment local contexts, with inclusive focus on developing new tools and techniques.
• To identify, explore and uplift potentially systemic solutions that will contribute to LED through economic sector development, job creation and poverty alleviation.
• Improving LED efforts by interfacing with existing LED forums and other LED structures.
• To benefit the future trajectory of LED in South Africa by documenting and sharing experiences, training, knowledge and lessons learned from the CoP with other key stakeholders in LED and the NSI.

The INNOVATION CHAMPIONS for LED PROGRAMME appropriately trains graduates that are then placed in district and local LED offices to perform the following tasks:

•  Coordinating the mapping of local innovation systems using LIAT.
• Ensuring and guiding with focus on the utilization of LIAT in integrated development planning (IDP) processes.
• Ensuring the incorporation of LED strategies for innovation.
• To create linkages among actors and agents within local innovation systems and ensure linkages between local systems and the NSI.
