Beschreibung:

"Over the last decade, both national and local governments have realised that the informal economy has become a crucial factor in economic development, particularly in developing and emerging countries, and that it offers significant job and income generation opportunities. Therefore, policy frameworks and strategies aimed at the informal economy must be developed, without hampering the potential of the sector for economic growth. However, the main challenge is to develop innovative, inclusive and supportive policies that recognise the value of the informal economy and the people working in this field. This report presents six learning examples from Kenya, Mali, Rwanda, South Africa and Tanzania on how local governments are engaging with the informal economy in different ways, using different approaches and methods. Although not every initiative is a success story right from the beginning, the presented case studies clearly illustrate that municipalities and city councils across the continent have started to recognise the importance of the informal economy and that its negation is often impeding economic growth and sustainable livelihoods. Both successful and less successful initiatives provide valuable lessons for local governments across the continent dealing with the informal economy."
