ABSTRACT
The delivery of major infrastructure projects needs to consider and respond to the various factors within the project business environment for the project to be delivered effectively. Effective delivery should consider the time, cost and quality constraints, as well as ensuring that the project is fit for purpose. Some of the purposes to be considered should include meeting and resolving the national infrastructure deficit, the sustainable development goals (SDG) of the county, and value for money. Given the complex, multi-stakeholder and political changing environment within which major infrastructure projects are delivered, it is always important to ensure that such a project effectively delivers impact to socioeconomic, environmental, cultural and sustainability of a nation. Indeed, to achieve such an impact, the project needs to be aligned with developmental priorities, vision and goals of the country. The effective delivery and running of well-considered major infrastructure projects will in turn provide competitive economic development and sustainable advantages to the country. In this chapter, the author provides a critical account of key considerations that should be considered to ensure the effective delivery of major infrastructure projects that are fit for purpose and capable of delivering impactful gains to a country. The chapter sets out to achieve the following aim and objectives.
