Reducing Red Tape

Governments all over the world are embarking on programmes to reduce red tape and improve services and the environment to do business.

This course addresses local government officials and development facilitators tasked to reduce red tape as a means to improving the local enabling environment. This course assumes that applicants have some existing knowledge of local governance and local economic development and the typical issues that may arise. This course provides the theoretical background as well as practical steps on how to embark on a red tape reduction exercise in a locality.

From our experience, the content of this course can be applied to businesses, universities and also international organisations. Red tape is red tape! However, this course is particularly aimed at reducing red tape at the local level.
