Government Partnerships

Partnering with Governments to Deliver Sustainable Infrastructure Development

Introduction

The South Africa Infrastructure Development Consortium Holding (SAIDCH) partners with national governments, ministries, municipalities, state-owned enterprises, and development agencies to prepare, structure, facilitate, and monitor strategic infrastructure projects.

Our objective is to assist governments in transforming priority infrastructure programmes into investment-ready opportunities that attract credible international and domestic investment while ensuring transparency, accountability, and sustainable economic development.

Government Partnership Framework

Strategic Programme Development

Helping Governments Define National Priorities

SAIDCH works with government institutions to identify strategic infrastructure priorities aligned with national development plans, industrialisation strategies, and regional integration initiatives.

Services include:

Infrastructure prioritisation
Programme structuring
Economic corridor planning
Master planning support

Investment strategy development

Project Preparation Support

One of the biggest challenges in Africa is that many good ideas never become bankable projects.

SAIDCH assists project sponsors by coordinating the preparation of:

Business cases
Feasibility studies
Financial models
Revenue models
Risk assessments
Environmental studies
Social impact assessments
Project implementation plans

Outcome: Investment-ready projects.

PPP Support

SAIDCH supports governments in structuring infrastructure projects using internationally recognised PPP models.

Examples include:

Design-Build (DB)
Design-Build-Finance (DBF)
Design-Build-Finance-Operate (DBFO)
Public-Private Partnerships (PPP)
Joint Ventures
Concession Agreements

BOT / BOOT Structures

Infrastructure Delivery Models

SAIDCH assists governments in evaluating the most appropriate delivery model, including:

BOT (Build–Operate–Transfer) – The private partner builds and operates the infrastructure for an agreed period before transferring ownership to government.
BOOT (Build–Own–Operate–Transfer) – Similar to BOT, but ownership remains with the private partner during the concession period before transfer.
DBFOM (Design–Build–Finance–Operate–Maintain) – An integrated model where one consortium designs, finances, builds, operates, and maintains the project.
Concession Agreements
Lease–Develop–Operate (LDO)
Joint Venture Models

This helps governments choose the model that best fits their policy objectives and financial capacity.
