2. OVERVIEW OF DEPARTMENTAL PERFORMANCE 2.1. Service Delivery Environment

During the 2022/23 financial year, the department has implemented several projects on behalf of client departments being the Department of Health, Education and Social Development, Sports, Arts, Culture and Recreation and Roads and Transport. In projects’ implementation, the department has faced several issues pertaining to changes in scope of the projects, cashflow problems of the contractors, community unrests causing delays in completion of these projects. Some of these challenges, at times, have resulted with contractors abandoning the sites. The bleak global economic outlook has resulted in limited budget allocation for projects, which has affected the implementation. The Department continuously provides support to emerging contractors through the Contractor Development Programme (CDP). The CDP is aimed at transferring skills for emerging contractors in the infrastructure sector to ensure they possess adequate technical skills and experience needed to implement projects.
