This will be done in tandem with the Eastern Cape Infrastructure Plan Vision 2030 which is people-centred to achieve five goals, including a sustainable future for the province. The plan aims to address the legacy of apartheid, which left the rural regions underdeveloped and the urban economy stressed. It is anticipated that targeted Infrastructure improvements will be driven through the reconfigured cluster system taking cognizance of the priorities of the seventh administration which are anchored on the nine integration programs. By institutionalizing these nine integration programs within the infrastructure planning, budgeting, and reporting processes, the province aims to prioritize infrastructure projects that promise a return on investment, specifically focusing on catalytic or economic projects considering that economic growth in the province is also reliant on adequate investments in economic infrastructure. The planning of infrastructure to foster socio economic growth is initiated through consideration of the appropriate legislation, strategies and policies for long range planning (portfolio level planning) which is backed up by the use of the use of the Eastern Cape planning developmental tools, adopted in defining the infrastructure required, which includes data on spatial dynamics that includes the forecasting of the migration patterns, and demographics as well as relevant spatial development plans in the Province. The province in preparation for the seventh administration has been aligning its joint and collaborative planning initiatives with the government's nine integration programs, particularly regarding infrastructure. Infrastructure which is recognized as a key priority for the government to promote higher and more inclusive economic growth by supporting projects that enhance growth. This will be achieved through improvements in the infrastructure value chain, which can foster a more responsive and accountable government that effectively addresses the needs of its citizens. Over and above, to tackle the challenges of achieving Value for Money in infrastructure delivery%u2014specifically, ensuring projects are completed on time, within budget, and to the required quality%u2014the province is committed to institutionalizing best practices from the Infrastructure Delivery Management System (IDMS). A critical focus of this initiative is on the integrated planning processes, which serve as the foundation for integrating and linking activities at the portfolio management level. This portfolio management approach not only promotes the Intergovernmental Relations (IGR) strategy through the District Development Model but also addresses concerns related to climate change and disaster risks. In dealing with the some of the challenges relating to the funding for these infrastructure projects, considering the limited fiscus, the province is subscribing to the transformation of the approach to public-sector infrastructure proposed by National Treasury, of which the reforms include the following: %uf0b7 Engaging in the utilisation of the mobilised private sector investment and technical expertiseto strengthen the existing but limited capacity and capabilities of the public sector as well asopportunities for PPP in line with the amended PPP regulations identify opportunities inconjunction with National Government for the diversification of public infrastructure financingthrough new mechanisms and instruments such as build-operate-transfer (BOT) structures.%uf0b7 Utilisation of the dedicated capacity to plan, prepare and design programmes such that theEastern Cape has a dedicated pipeline of bankable projects.%uf0b7 Participating in the improved capital budgeting process wherein the Budget Facility forInfrastructure (BFI) processes are being reconfigured to a continuous evaluation process.81
