Capacity constraints

• Impact on service delivery through loss of key expertise• Across the board there is a lack of technical capacity to

deliver (both in expertise & numbers)• Confusion between supply chain and technical units and

lack of infrastructure procurement expertise linked to cidb procurement reform process

• Severe shortage of municipal engineers & qualified financial managers

• Severe work overloads due to inter alia staff shortages, turnover of staff, restricted staffing budgets, social & local economic development policies

• Construction industry constraints (built environment professionals and contracting capacity)
