The online application platform for the Infrastructure Investment Programme for South Africa (IIPSA) has gone live.

The IIPSA is a €100 million (R1.5 billion) ground-breaking programme to provide grant funding in support of loans for essential infrastructure projects in South Africa and the region.​ The fund was established following a joint initiative between the South African government and the European Union (EU), and forms part of the EU’s broader intervention under its country strategy for South Africa.

The South African government and the EU appointed the Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA) as the implementing agent for the fund which is expected to support the implementation of the government’s infrastructure programme. It also aims to address the constraints to infrastructure development in South Africa and in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Region.

The online application platform went live on 2 May and applications will close on 2 June at 12:00. Only project applications submitted through the online application process will be accepted.
