GROWTH FOR JOBS

The Growth for Jobs Strategy is aimed at reducing unemployment by facilitating break-out economic growth that is sustainable, resilient, diverse and thriving – generating confidence, hope and prosperity for all. This will require the provincial economy to grow at between 4% and 6% per annum. This will be achieved through enabling a competitive business environment driven by private sector-led opportunities and market growth, underpinned by strengthening geographic synergies and linkages.
