Economic Development and Advisory Services

Naidu Consulting’s commitment to community and social development is reflected in the established Economic Development and Advisory Services Unit (EDAS). EDAS specialises in Project Management, Contract Administration, Labour Intensive Construction (LIC) support, including accredited LIC courses and Construction Road Worker Training.

Public sector institutions are required to comply with specific legislation and policies, promulgated to enhance economic development and inclusive growth. We unpack legislation and develop tailored guidelines and policies to operationalise legislation, ensuring compliance with the Auditor General audits. We ensure relevance and value through such legislation and workshop all stakeholders whilst offering monitoring and management services to support effective implementation. 

We have performed extensive work with provincial government departments leading the development of procurement documentation and guidelines, including the Framework for Infrastructure Delivery and Procurement Management (FIDPM). Our team has also supported municipalities and private entities throughout South Africa, helping them achieve operational objectives aligned with economic development.

Our team offers customisable cloud-based project management tools to monitor implementation and provide real-time feedback on job creation and project goals. Our service offerings include support in the implementation of LIC projects, FIDPM compliance, policy development and implementation of job creation programmes (EPWP)..
