The NDPW has four entities reporting to it, namely the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB), Independent Development Trust (IDT), Agrment South Africa (ASA) and the Council for the Built Environment (CBE). The four entities have different mandates but their work is for the empowerment of the people of South Africa. The Committee wanted to ensure that there was synergy in the work of these entities in order for them to produce the desired results.
