INFRASTRUCTURE DELIVERY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMME

The INFRASTRUCTURE DELIVERY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMME (IDIP) is a capacity-building programme of the South African government designed to address problems relating to the planning and management of public sector infrastructure delivery. The implementation approach has drawn partnership between the National Treasury, the National Department of Public Works, Education, Health, the Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA) and the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB).

THE GOAL OF IDIP

The Goal of the programme is to contribute towards the Accelerated Shared Growth Initiative – South Africa (ASGISA) by improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the delivery of public sector infrastructure through developing and institutionalising best practice systems and tools, and building capacity.

IDIP supports the provincial departments that deliver infrastructure to effectively render and sustain infrastructure and contribute towards Provincial Growth and Development Strategies (PGDS).

By linking IDIP to the PGDS, the improvement of infrastructure delivery is directed towards the South African Government’s existing socioeconomic development and growth objectives, ensuring that IDIP becomes relevant as an intervention that will bring about sustained impact in the provinces’ capacity to deliver on their priorities through better management of infrastructure.
