At the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure’s Infrastructure Summit, ISA’s acting head came away with so much information on the bold strategies to enhance governance and crowd-in private capital for transformative projects. The summit, themed “Building Resilience Through Accountability,” spotlighted reforms such as centralized project dashboards and standardized procurement processes to curb inefficiencies and corruption risks.
The acting head has stressed that “governance isn’t just about compliance—it’s about building investor confidence.” Panels showed this same sentiment in how they have dissected sector-specific challenges, from port logistics backlogs to smart city initiatives. ISA has its own lessons it could share in regards to this from its oversight of the Infrastructure Fund. A key takeaway was the role of data-driven decision-making in de-risking investments, particularly in energy and transport. The summit’s outcomes are expected to inform policy adjustments, with ISA championing closer collaboration between provincial and national entities to fast-track delivery.
