National Infrastructure Plan 2050

Loading player...
Infrastructure has become something of a national fixation. Successive economic policy documents, from RDP, to GEAR and Asgisa to the Economic Reconstruction and Recovery Plan, all had a major focus on how the country’s infrastructure programme could be used to catalyse growth and to varying degrees be used as levers to also achieve government’s socioeconomic and transformation objectives.
Now we have the recently gazetted National Infrastructure Plan 2050.
The NIP 2050 is organised into six main sections. The first section offers insight into the four mission-critical infrastructure areas, namely energy, freight transport, water and digital communications. There are then five cross-cutting sections focused on the regional agenda for infrastructure, finance, strengthening institutions for delivery, rebuilding the civil construction and supplier sector and the approach to monitoring and reporting on progress.

To talk about the plan it’s a pleasure to welcome one of the lead authors, Dr Miriam Altman former National Planning Commissioner and director of Altman Advisory & Dr Stuart Theobald, Chairman of Intellidex
