| Overview : The aim of this project is to deepen and expand the scenarios that were modelled in the Scenario Planning Project done for the Eastern Cape, by the IFR and ECSECC. The scenarios in the previous project focused mainly on growth and industry production. This project seeks (1) to provide additional simulations not included in the previous one, (2) to determine the impact of fiscal expansion on growth, poverty, and income distribution in the province. (3) The four-scenario planning (Destitute; Just a number; Do It Yourself; and The Flourishers) will be extended to forecast the Eastern Cape APEX indicators of the Provincial Development Plan (PDP) to 2040, focussing on GDP, unemployment, poverty, inequality, HDI, and investment. |
