Infrastructure investment is not only fundamental to creating conducive conditions for investments but also a vehicle for skills transfer. However, the efficacy of infrastructure investment hinges on the technical capacity of the developmental state and also on planning. Accordingly, the planned infrastructure projects by the public sector should find resonance with the NDP priorities. Though it is of concern that capacity is causing the delay in implementation of some projects, it is encouraging to note that steps are being taken to address these challenges. There is a notable improvement in the capacity to plan, procure, manage and monitor projects, as well as co-operation with the private sector at various stages of the project development cycle. The Presidential Infrastructure Co-ordinating Commission has over the past years focused its endeavours on improving the planning and decision process. It is noteworthy that the value of major infrastructure projects in progress or under consideration in the public sector totals R3,6 trillion. About 40% of these projects are in implementation. For the remaining ones, concept proposals are to be assessed and aligned with the priorities of the NDP, followed by feasibility evaluations.
