Whereas in a country such as South Africa some public sector authorities are able to practise more or
less competent management of their infrastructure assets, government intervention and assistance is
needed in respect of many other authorities especially
in respect of those at local government level.
The National Infrastructure Maintenance Strategy sets overarching national policy for sectorbased
initiatives, and describes the framework for a coordinated programme of actions. Simultaneous
infrastructure investment and maintenance that will result from this strategy will not only improve
infrastructure performance and underpin services sustainability, but will also contribute significantly
towards national and local economic growth and will add long term jobs. Countries that do not enjoy the
comprehensive information set upon which the Strategy was founded, should nonetheless make the start
with such a strategy where they can, and set themselves on a path of steadily improving information and
practice.
