The Minister of Finance, Mr Enoch Godongwana, will officially launch the Infrastructure Finance and Implementation Support Agency (IFISA) Programme Office at the South Africa Investment Conference (SAIC) on 31 March 2026. The Programme Office is established through a partnership between National Treasury, Government Technical Advisory Centre (GTAC) and the Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA).
IFISA is mandated to mobilise private finance and technical expertise at scale to accelerate infrastructure delivery across the country. The new programme office brings together the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) unit, the Capital Projects Appraisal (CPA) unit, the Infrastructure Fund and the Neighbourhood Development Partnership Programme (NDPP) into one coherent, high-impact structure.
Its establishment will strengthen and expand the PPP and blended infrastructure finance pipelines, enabling greater private sector participation, reducing pressure on the fiscus, improving risk allocation and fast track projects to financial close. The office will also provide procurement support, project management capability, and information and data management to improve spending and delivery outcomes.
By centralising infrastructure finance functions, the new office will reduce duplication, eliminate inefficiencies and create a trusted, strategic interface between government and the private sector.
Media are invited as follows:
- Date: Tuesday, 31 March 2026
- Time: 10:20
- Venue: Sandton Convention Centre (exact room tbc)
Only media already accredited for the SAIC will be accepted for the launch. All other media can follow the session live from the Government YouTube channel.
