The MEC for Public Works, Infrastructure, and Human Settlements, Honourable Siphokazi Lusithi, will host a Women in Built Environment Colloquium followed by a Post Policy Speech Engagement with various stakeholders of the Ministry. Both sessions will take place on 05 September 2024 at The Monument in Makhanda, under the Sarah Baartman District Municipality.
These engagements will provide MEC Lusithi with an opportunity to outline the strategic direction of the two departments in supporting women in the construction industry. This initiative is part of ongoing efforts to transform the Construction and Property Industry, enabling women to penetrate the mainstream construction sector, achieve higher Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) gradings, and participate in delivering significant infrastructure projects in the province. The colloquium aims to empower women to engage fully in economic activities across various sectors.
Additionally, the sessions will serve as a platform for dialogue with stakeholders on the policy directions arising from the 2024/25 Budget and Policy Speech and explore collaborative interventions to accelerate service delivery.
