Deputy Speaker, I think the problems that Nepad faces were the expectations at the beginning that this was going to attract massive funding from the donor community, and unfortunately those expectations have not been realised.
But, I think that the fundamental point about co-operating around infrastructure development remains. We believe that the spatial development initiatives methodology does offer us a way forward, which does not depend on all these projects being funded by donor funding. That is why we are working to try to promote this methodology.
Basically, we started an infrastructure programme and used it as the basis for crowding in a whole series of investments. We think the methodology has been fairly successful in a number of cases. We are trying to identify some of those with potential and those on the West Coast. I think the Trans- Kunene SDI case is of major significance, and that is what we're trying to do. Thank you.
