3. Key Components of the SIFDP
A. Needs Assessment and Infrastructure Audit
- Conduct baseline audits of existing buildings, facilities, utilities, and digital readiness.
- Identify gaps in:
- Classroom space
- Laboratory/workshop functionality
- Sanitation and safety
- Connectivity and digital infrastructure
B. Master Planning and Prioritization
- Categorize projects into:
- Critical Repairs & Compliance

- Expansion & New Campuses
- Apply scoring system based on need, student impact, readiness, and funding potential.
C. Design Standards and Guidelines
- Develop and adopt SayPro Design Guidelines for TVET Infrastructure, including:
- Green building standards (e.g. solar panels, rainwater harvesting)
- Modular construction models
- Smart classroom architecture
- Universal design for accessibility
D. Funding and Investment Strategy
- Outline a blended finance model combining:
- Government allocations
- Donor and grant funding
- Private sector co-investment (PPP models)
- Provide investment-ready infrastructure profiles for each priority project.
E. Implementation Phases
Phase Focus Timeline Phase 1 Pilot Modernization Projects in 5 High-Need Colleges 2025 Phase 2 National Scale-Up Across 20+ Colleges 2026–2027 Phase 3 Full Digital + Sustainable Infrastructure Integration 2028–2030 F. Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL)
- Establish KPIs for each infrastructure project:
- % Increase in enrollment capacity
- % Reduction in energy/water usage
- Student and staff satisfaction scores
- Use AI dashboards and mobile tools to track and adjust progress in real time.
4. Stakeholder Engagement to Inform the Plan
SayPro will engage:
- TVET College Management Teams – for ground-level insights and co-design.
- Students and Alumni – to assess usability, accessibility, and safety.
- Local Governments & National Departments of Education/Infrastructure
- Architects, Engineers, and Sustainability Experts
- Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) and donors
- Private Sector Partners – to ensure facilities are industry-relevant and job-market aligned.
5. Data and Research Inputs Informing the Plan
- TVET Infrastructure Baseline Survey (2025)
- SayPro Monthly SCSPR reports (e.g. SCSPR-17)
- National Skills Development Plans
- Labor market forecasting reports
- Climate risk and regional vulnerability assessments
6. Expected Outcomes by 2030
- Over 50 modernized or newly constructed TVET campuses
- 100,000+ learners benefiting from safe, digitally enabled environments
- 40% of campuses operating on green energy solutions
- Real-time monitoring and AI-based infrastructure planning embedded across SayPro institutions
