Department of Infrastructure Development Annual Report 2021-2022

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | 2022

8. CAPITAL INVESTMENT

8.1 Capital investment, maintenance and asset management plan The Department applied different data collection methods and it confirms that the DID spent 19% of the equitable share funding allocated to infrastructure. The underexpenditure on the allocation was mainly attributed to performance of projects under construction, which were allocated 56% of the overall budget. Delays in the appointment of the Project Management Unit (PMU) and Project Office (PO) resulted in further underexpenditure. Moreover, lack of responses from client departments in the Emoyeni and Roodeplaat projects also caused underexpenditure. The report further has the objective of reflecting on lessons learnt and to put forward proposals for improved service delivery. Some of the proposed solutions to improve performance includes: • Improved interactions with client department and internal divisions to accelerate approvals. • Prioritise appointments of technical personnel to improve performance. • Improve coordination and general contract management. • Appointment of contractors and PSPs with adequate capacity to deliver. A summary of the proposed recommendations on how programme management will be improved include the relocation of staff to other buildings, integration with the Kopanong Precinct Project, digitalising document routing and approvals, improving OHS matters and the appointment of vacant and required personnel.
