The Black Business Council in the Built Environment (BBCBE), in partnership with CETA, CIDB, DBSA, SANRAL and other strategic supporters, is hosting its inaugural Built Environment Indaba on the 4th and 5th of April at the Gallagher Convention Centre.
Under the theme ‘Building a transformed Built Environment through Collaboration, Procurement, and Skills Development’, the event aims to present a platform for all practitioners in the industry to discuss and to provide solutions to the challenges it faces.
The BBCBE has undertaken to monitor the implementations of resolutions taken at the Indaba through facilitation and convening of the quarterly work stream sessions. Resolutions achieved in progress- and those not achieved – will be presented to the Indaba in the following year for progress and monitoring.
“The Built Environment Indaba will further promote, develop and ensure that there is economic transformation and empowerment at all levels of the economy, ensure the participation of women, youth and people living with disabilities has significant capacity and the requisite skills base for effective participation in the economy, to influence implementation of appropriate legislation in order to create an enabling environment for the industry to have meaningful transformation across the sector including manufacturing and material supply across the value chain,” said Danny Masimene, President of the BBCBE.
“The Indaba further aims to expand and reach out to our impoverished communities that don’t have realistic basic needs like clean water, sanitation, electricity, and reliable public transport as well as finding solutions to develop scarce skills, creating employment, economic opportunities and providing sustainable solutions to address our aging and incapacitated infrastructure.”
