reprioritisations into infrastructure projects

infrastructure spend improves

private and public sector to attract

funding from pension funds

PERFORMANCE

6. Increased programmes such as SWH, INEP,

distribution backlogs, IDC are supporting the

PICC with a localisation project unit to

support the industrialisation, DHET are

supporting the PICC in developing a long

7. In collaboration with NT and ASISA assess

which projects can be packaged to get

access to long term favourable bond funding
