Alignment of the Infrastructure Delivery Cycle with the Budget Cycle (Abridged Version for Prepared by the Infrastructure Delivery Improvement Programme (IDIP) NATIONAL TREASURY REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA The Infrastructure Delivery Improvement Programme (IDIP) • IDIP is a continuous improvement programme which guides & capacitates to improve infrastructure delivery • IDIP is coordinated by National Treasury in partnership with DBSA, DPW & CIDB • IDIP provides flexible tools that can be adapted to the province & sector • IDIP is a key strategy of government to address inadequate capacity and skills in the infrastructure sector National Treasury 2 Problem Statement • Continuing under expenditure of infrastructure budgets. • Inappropriate expenditure patterns characterized by the 4th Quarter expenditure spike. • Currently there appears to be very little alignment between the Infrastructure Delivery Cycle and either the Budget Cycle or the Strategic Planning Cycle. • Currently the budget for large multi-year projects is committed to 1 financial year instead apportioning the budget across the MTEF.

The result is the 4th quarter expenditure spike and overall under-expenditure. President Thabo Mbeki in his 2006 State of the Nation Address said, “Better supervision of infrastructure projects undertaken by government will be introduced, to ensure that capital budgets are spent without roll-overs” 5 Improved Infrastructure Delivery Cycle Year 0 3 Year MTEF Period Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 A M J J A S O N D J F M A M J J A S O N D J F M A M J J A S O N D J F M A M J J A S O N D J F M A M J J Current Infrastructure Delivery Cycle Infrastructure Planning Project Design Project Tender Infrastructure Planning Project Implementation Project Design Rolled Over Unspent Budget Project Tender Infrastructure Planning Each Infrastructure Delivery Cycle is characterized by under-expenditure and rolled over unspent budgets Project Implementation Project Design Rolled Over Unspent Budget Project Tender Project Implementation Improved Infrastructure Delivery Cycle Infrastructure Planning The Infrastructure Plan sets out the infrastructure priorities for the next 10 years.

The budget preparation process can now be strengthened by actual projects identified during Infrastructure Planning.

Cabinet approved a framework to align infrastructure delivery cycles with the MTEF budget cycle in order to improve planning, implementation and better cash-flow management that would, among other things, deal with the fourth quarter expenditure spike. This framework accommodates the long lead time before infrastructure projects reach the construction stage. The infrastructure delivery cycle will be amended to include an Infrastructure Programme Management Plan (IPMP) and an Infrastructure Programme Implementation Plan (IPIP) which will be mandatory for all departments. Best practice approaches will be adopted to include budget cycles that commit funds for the duration of the project without leading to the so-called roll-overs. This framework will require the appointment of appropriately skilled built-environment professionals across all relevant departments, provinces and local government. National Treasury 15 THANK YOU 16
