Key economic and social development challenges confronting the local economy have been identified and these include sustaining economic growth, skills development, employment creation, B-BBEE and enterprise development as well as innovation support. These challenges have been aligned with challenges confronting the local chemicals manfuacturing sector and grouped into three broad categories or programmes.
Each programme is directed by its own Technical Steering Committee (TSC) which is in turn overseen by the Executive Committee.
