The unpacking of a Strategic Integrated Project

Speaking at the third Sustainable Infrastructure Development Symposium in Cape Town on 19 March 2024, President Cyril Ramaphosa stated that investment in infrastructure is central to the achievement of South Africa’s development goals. President Ramaphosa highlighted some initiatives which seek to address this, including the amendment of the Division of Revenue Act 5 of 2023 to enable provincial governments to use their infrastructure grants and budget allocations to crowd-in private sector finance for large social infrastructure programmes, as well as amendments to the public-private partnership regulations. Of specific importance to South Africa’s development goals is the implementation of Strategic Integrated Projects (SIPs) which aims to minimise the red tape associated with projects that are of social or economic importance to SouthAfrica.
