PMO

The Project Management Office (PMO) was established in partnership with H1 Holdings, a 100% black-owned clean energy company based in South Africa with support from the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC). The PMO is a strategic vehicle that drives sector collaboration and project implementation with Independent Power Producers (IPPs). Together we have identified high impact socio-economic development projects for IPPs in South Africa. 

 

The PMO serves to decrease duplication of SED efforts and prioritises co-funding to scale projects,. We aim to bring in cross industry expertise, align with government priorities and, coordinate stakeholder involvement and project implementation.

 

We have developed a pipeline of projects that will deliver long term growth for communities, initially with a strong focus in the Northern Cape. These include livestock farming, biodiversity conservation, telecoms network upgrades, an aircraft parking facility and a grape farming empowerment project. These projects, at different levels, play a critical economic and social role in the Northern Cape. The first of the projects to roll-out is the livestock project where we have partnered with the Department of Agriculture and the Pixley Ka Seme District Municipality, using their current livestock and environment programmes and knowledge of the district, to structure a collaborative livestock programme for the district IPPs who can take the first strategic step in uplifting local farmers by supporting this project.

 

Our project structuring considers a region wide approach, partnerships, project success measurements and drives implementation. It engages the following process.
