The IDIP (Infrastructure Delivery Improvement Programme) is a South African National Treasury
initiative designed to improve the quality, quantity and delivery time for which infrastructure can be
provided by Government Departments, in order to reduce the backlogs created from the past, and in a
hope that some of the Millennium Goals can actually be achieved. It is presently being rolled out in 9
South African Provinces, 4 of which are being implemented by ECI Africa. The paper being presented
will look at the process followed through the IDIP cycle, which has predominantly focused on Health and
Education infrastructure, and can also apply to the Water & Sanitation environment. It is hoped that the
audience will understand some of the methodologies, philosophies and ideologies of IDIP in an attempt
for similar processes to be adopted within their own Infrastructure delivery structures. The IDIP process
is straight forward, easy to implement and enthuses high impacts to infrastructure delivery
