  8. Main functions of an IPA

  9. Resource assessment – national level • National level IPA (LDA) • Natural point of contact for initial investor enquiries • Involvement in defining and building national image • Better access to government networks (e.g. overseas foreign representation) • Able to provide greater choice to investors through broader scope of investment opportunities and locations • Able to direct investment leads to the region(s) that are most suitable

  10. Resource assessment – local level • Local Agency / Industrial Zone Management • Provide local facilitation services (planning and construction, local utilities, recruitment etc.) • Inform and ‘promote’ foreign investments to local communities • Provide aftercare services (particularly where they concern ‘local’ issues) • Keep Informed of developments in the business and therefore encourage re-investment • Assist development of linkages to local businesses (suppliers etc.)

  11. Allocation of functional responsibilities • IPA (LDA) should take lead role in activities of: • Investment marketing and lead generation • Investment facilitation (pre-establishment phase) • Support to investment decision • Industrial Zones should take lead in: • Investment facilitation (establishment phase) • Investment servicing (operational phase)

  12. Cooperation mechanisms and protocols • Where local investment attraction priorities are similar: • a transparent mechanism for allocating investment prospects to individual industrial zones is required; • Where local investment attraction priorities are dissimilar: • resources should be allocated to generate investment prospects that reflect the range of different priorities of industrial zones. • The IPA and IZ management agencies should identify priority activities for mutual cooperation and develop an implementation plan that should be integrated within their respective Business Plans.

  13. Coordination mechanism • Broad context: part of overall coordination of the country’s investment promotion system • Narrow context: coordination between national IPA (LDA) and FDI-related activities of IZ management agencies • Scope of activities: • Setting guideline and protocols for marketing and promotion activities • Setting guidelines and protocols for information sharing • Administering procedures to handle disputes • Monitoring and benchmarking performance
