NDP provides solutions to service delivery challenges – Cesa
Cesa member firms are ready to consult and support government in finding innovative and entrepreneurial ways of partnering to ensure a successful roll-out of the country’s infrastructure plan.
“As in the past, our members are ready to support government with project delivery. Our target is to recreate the informed client, especially at municipal level. This will not only benefit us but, more importantly, the client entity in the public sector,” CEO Graham Pirie stated in response to an op-ed piece by Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan, published in the Sunday Times.
In the article, entitled ‘How SA can beat global financial turmoil’, the Minister outlined that there needs to be an improvement in the quality of spending, including a new infrastructure planning process in provinces and action needs to be taken against provinces and municipalities with poor internal systems.
Gordhan added that this would realise substantial savings, reduce policy uncertainty and ensure that policies are clear and consistent with the vision of the National Development Plan (NDP), so that the country can attract investment in the economy.
Cesa stated that it was pleased that government is talking about creating skills and capacity, as well as an atmosphere of policy certainty.
“We need more champions of the NDP from government, so that there is a more objective buy-in for the plan. We have backlogs in terms of delivering basic amenities to the people, which will improve their quality of life and the NDP provides solutions to these service delivery challenges,” said Pirie.
