15. Updated Situational Analysis – cont’d
The Presidential Infrastructure Coordinating Commission (PICC) coordinates the planning and implementation of Strategic Infrastructure Projects (SIPs) with the purpose of unlocking economic opportunities in all nine provinces.
This kind of budget for infrastructure projects demands competent built environment professionals to drive this massive development.
The CBE facilitates participation of the registered professionals in these programmes by engaging the six BEPCs to introduce these programmes to institutions of higher learning and through their voluntary associations.

16. Updated Situational Analysis – cont’d
Poor economic growth has a negative impact on the growth in the construction industry – these were impacted by labour action in Placement of interns and up skilling of graduates depend on the functioning economy. The CBE is establishing key partnerships to support placement of interns and work place training.
Collaboration with government departments to fast track the registration of candidates by introducing CBE Structured Workplace Training Framework- this initiative supports the capacitation of the State which is one of the priorities of the government.

17. Updated Situational Analysis – cont’d

18. Description of the Strategic Planning Process
The CBE took cognisance of the SONA 2016 priorities, which are to resolve energy challenges, grow the ocean economy, and provide water, sanitation and transport infrastructure. This requires skilled human capital which is accountable to government’s priorities. CBE, through working and supporting the BEPCs, works to ensure that there is a skilled and competent workforce within the built environment to support Public Works to deliver on its infrastructural delivery mandate.
The APP considered the Minister’s updated policy statement issued in June 2016, thus the CBE’s focus will be to strengthen collaborations with Government departments and its entities tasked with delivering infrastructure, as well as with industry.

34. Strategic Challenges in the Planning Environment
Some risks, prevalent in the delivery environment, that could affect CBE’s
delivery include:
Funding constraints experienced by BEPCs;
Poor coordination of various institutions and departments in the sector
that could impact delivery against Government’s outcomes; and
Ineffectiveness in driving the Transformation Agenda, while growing knowledge economy.

35. CBE’s response to the Challenges in the Planning Environment
CBE will collaborate and enter into inter-sectoral and inter-governmental partnerships, and develop Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with other Government departments, municipalities, and the private sector.
In addition, CBE will continue to support the BEPCs to ensure that their Strategic Plans and APPs align with the strategic outcomes of Government.

36. Conclusion
CBE is playing a key role in promoting government development priorities through its engagements with role-players in the built environment sector – this places more demand for the visibility of the CBE in all nine provinces. The strategic move for the CBE is to work through DPW Regional and Provincial offices on some of its initiatives. Metros are targeted as strategic partners as well.
Capacitation of the built environment industry is key to the CBE.
Creating awareness in schools will be strengthen to influence learners to prefer built environment careers at an early age.

37. Thank You
