Microeconomic development strategy for the South African film industry

The Western Cape's Microeconomic Development Strategy (MEDS) has been developed within the context of the National and Provincial Growth and Development Summits of 2003 to inform, integrate and prioritise all of the Provincial Government's interventions in the economy in a manner that aligns and focuses domestic and international resources.

Independent consultant Krista Tuomi prepared the MEDS for the South African film industry, and finds it to be a vital part of the South African economy, especially in the Western Cape, stimulating growth, generating substantial employment, bringing in valuable foreign exchange and acting as a vehicle for technology transfer and skills upgrading.
