Social Development Fighting Crime and Corruption Clean Governance Operation Sukuma Sakhe KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Growth and Development Strategy In February 2011 the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Cabinet tasked the Provincial Planning Commission to draft a vision and to review the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Growth and Development Strategy. The draft 2030 Vision and the Provincial Growth and Development Strategy was adopted by the Cabinet on 31 August 2011. The vision developed as part of this process is: “By 2030, the Province of KwaZulu-Natal should have maximized its position as a Gateway to South and Southern Africa, as well as its human and natural resources so creating a safe, healthy and sustainable living environment. Abject poverty, inequality, unemployment and the current disease burden should be history, basic services must have reached all its people, domestic and foreign investors are attracted by world class infrastructure and a skilled labour force. The people shall have options on where and how they opt to live, work and play, where the principle of putting people first and where leadership, partnership and prosperity in action has become a normal way of life.” The 2011 KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Growth and Development Strategy (PGDS) boosts the Province‟s commitment to achieving the vision of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) as a “Prosperous Province with a healthy, secure and skilled population, acting as a Gateway to Africa and the World”. The PGDS aims to build this gateway by growing the economy for the development and improvement of the quality of life of all people living in the Province. Whilst the Provincial Government of KZN is leading this process, its success depends on strong compacts with labour, civil society and business. Thus a critical success factor in achieving the 2011 PGDS is for all stakeholders to be synchronised in the single minded pursuit of shifting KZN‟s growth path towards shared growth and integrated, sustainable development. The purpose of the 2011 KZN PGDS is to: Develop a clear long term vision and plan for the growth and development of the Province by building on the strengths and opportunities while addressing the weaknesses and threats; Mobilise all development partners to achieve predetermined development objectives and targets; 21
