Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure, Patricia De Lille opened a Sustainable Infrastructure Development forum where industry leaders and Cabinet members were discussing accelerating an infrastructure-led economic recovery plan.
De Lille stated that in the past, the country fell short of its goals by treating infrastructure as a transactional issue. She further revealed that they were no longer concerned about new projects but wanted to address existing infrastructure systems, such as spatial planning.
“Our country needs a credible project pipeline of infrastructure projects that are ready and bankable for investment and implementation. Two, also the need for a comprehensive focused infrastructure plan and thirdly, the need to address the fragmentation of infrastructure delivery in our country,” She said.
