Programme Management Specialist

Overview

The Infrastructure Fund (IF) announced by the President in September 2018 addresses the need for a dedicated blended financing facility for infrastructure programme projects. The aim of the IF is to transform public infrastructure financial provisioning using “blended” finance - combining capital from the public and private sectors and Development Finance Institutions (DFIs)/Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs). This will be dedicated to meeting the financing requirements for hybrid projects.

The mandate of the Infrastructure Fund has been captured in a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the National Treasury, Infrastructure South Africa (ISA), and the DBSA, entered into on 17 August 2020.

The Programme Management Specialist is responsible for designing and implementing multiple programmes leading to funding opportunities for the IF. These programmes, amongst others, are large-scale infrastructure projects and programmes that involve Public Private Partnerships.
