HOW DO WE ENSURE THAT INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT LEADS TO SOCIO‐ECONOMIC INVESTMENTS WHICH BRING ABOUT
DEVELOPMENT OUTCOMES AND IMPACTS?
#FIDIC_GAMA2018
Understanding economic development is knowing that:
• Efforts seeking to improve the economic well‐being and quality of life for a community by
creating and/or retaining jobs and supporting or growing incomes and the tax base
• Economic Development processes should improve the economic and social well‐being of
its people
• Economic Development is a broader concept than economic growth ‐ development reflects
social and economic progress and requires economic growth. Thus development is about
creating freedom for people and removing obstacles to greater freedom
• Greater freedom enables people to choose their own destiny. Obstacle to freedom and to
development (remove poverty, lack of economic opportunities, corruption, lack of health,
poor governance and lack of education (Amartyasen’s definition)

Understanding SED is knowing that: (continued)
• SED is about a collective working together such as governments, private sector,
communities, civil society to address socio‐economic challenges
• SED promotes social and economic growth that leads to improvements in the quality of life
of all
• Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”
• In different words sustainable development is the organizing principle for meeting human
development goals while at the same time sustaining the ability of natural systems to
provide the natural resources and ecosystem services upon which the economy and
society depends. The desirable end result is a state of society where living conditions and
resource use continue to meet human needs without undermining the integrity and
stability of the natural systems.5 Dr Snowy Khoza
