About Us: DEDAT

The G4J vision for the economy of the province is, “an economy that achieves break-out economic growth to drive sufficient employment and opportunity for its citizens. This economy is sustainable, resilient, diverse and thriving – generating confidence, hope and prosperity for all”.  It is an all-of-government, all-of-society strategy underpinned by the core principles of partnerships and co-operation, innovation, agility and flexibility, sustainability, data-led decision-making and responsiveness to impactful opportunities, and whose success requires the energy, commitment, and allocation of resources from across government, the private-sector and civil society.

The Department’s vision is for the Western Cape to achieve breakout economic growth, with an economy that is sustainable, resilient, and diverse, generating confidence, hope, and opportunities to thrive.
