Prof Renosi Mokate, Concentric Alliance

Summary: Infrastructure investment is a key factor for economic growth. It has been highlighted as a priority in various development strategies and legal frameworks in South Africa. The challenge is translating these measures into positive outcomes. Some of the constraints to infrastructure development, including funding, implementation capacity and political economy issues are explored in this commentary, along with ways to improve infrastructure implementation.
