Partnerships

The FWRDWA is in partnership with the Gauteng Infrastructure Finance Agency (GIFA) by making land available for development.

Making land available is part of a regional program aimed at unearthing the promotion of sustainable economic activity through facilitating the establishment of an agri-processing industrial cluster, development of new farming activities and Renewable Energy projects as the basis for social development in areas on the greater West Rand district where local economies are currently predominantly dependent on mining.

While strategies are being pursued to prolong the flow of value through active mining operations, this initiative is intended to develop alternative sources of economic activity in parallel with mining and mitigate prospects that mining communities on the greater West Rand district may become distressed mining communities as mining activities inevitably wind down. The FWRDWA has committed 15 000 hectares of land towards this regional economic diversification initiative.
