The Settlement Agreement stipulates that the construction companies should collectively contribute R1.5 billion over 12 years (an average of R125 million per annum).
The funds will be used for social and economic benefit to the construction industry, in seven programmes as follows:
Enterprise Development Programme (EDP): the development and promotion of construction firms owned and managed by Black People through, for example, providing working capital at concessional rates;
Engineering Bursaries Programme (EBP): providing bursaries to previously disadvantaged persons studying engineering, building science or quantity surveying at a tertiary institution, principally based on mentorship programs guaranteeing future employment for such previously disadvantaged persons in the Construction Companies, to the extent feasible at the time;
Construction Occupations Development Programme (CODP): providing bursaries to previously disadvantaged persons being trained as artisans and/or the equivalent level of construction occupations, principally based on mentorship programs guaranteeing future employment for such previously disadvantaged persons in the Construction Companies, to the extent feasible at the time;
Basic Education Programme (BEP): supporting and enhancing mathematics and science education at public schools;
Social Infrastructure Programme (SIP): promoting social and economic welfare, including funding social infrastructure build programs for student accommodation, health clinics, rural bridges and sports fields at public schools;
Technical Capacity Programme (TCP): funding the appointment of professionals to provide the Government with engineering, project management and other services that assist the Government (and local government), and strengthen its capacity, to design, construct, operate and maintain public infrastructure through, amongst others, the secondment of skilled personnel from organisations operating in RSA; and
Professionalising Engineering Practitioners Programme (PEPP): through funding the relevant training academies and/or mentoring institutions which provide a structured development program for graduate engineers, to facilitate such engineers' registration by the Engineering Council of South Africa as "professional engineers" in terms of the Engineering Profession Act No. 46 of 2000.
