The main aim of the event is to facilitate alignment with the objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) and South Africa’s National Development Plan (NDP) and to ensure access to greater and economical sources of sustainable funding. Further, it aims to highlight the digital sectors, agriculture and housing sectors which aligns with 10 of the 17 SDG’s (Infrastructure).
The development component of the SIDS resides in its public sector led demand side stimulus focused on GDP growth and job creation.
The event will focus strongly on active participation from a limited number of people and institutions working together towards the delivery of the projects presented in the SIDS.
The concept behind the SIDS is thus to bring together State Owned Entities, Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs), DFIs, Private Sector and Academia in this maiden African consultation session.
