The G20 tasked the Global Infrastructure Hub to ensure there is a comprehensive, open-source project pipeline database connected to national and multilateral development bank databases, to help match potential investors with projects.

The Project Pipeline is a free digital platform that allows governments to promote public infrastructure projects to a global investor network.

Explore the capability of 56 countries to deliver infrastructure projects, identify priority reforms and pinpoint leading practices across infrastructure governance & institutions, regulatory frameworks, permits, planning, procurement and delivery.

Outlook forecasts a global infrastructure need of $97 trillion and a projected investment gap of around 16%.

The world's electricity, water, communications, and transport investment needs are outlined by country over the next two decades.

Risk allocation is at the centre of every PPP transaction, and a deep understanding of the risk allocation arrangements is a precondition to the drafting of every PPP agreement. Search below for guidance on typical risk allocation arrangements between public and private sectors in PPP transactions.

As part of its leading practices mandate, the GI Hub developed a set of annotated risk allocation matrices for PPP transactions, across the transport, energy and water and waste sectors. The PPP Risk Allocation Tool should be used to provide additional guidance to countries that wish to develop a programme of bankable PPP transactions.

GI Hub and EDHECinfra global investor study 2016.

The 2016 study found that investors are increasingly comfortable with long investment periods and less concerned about the lack of liquidity associated with infrastructure projects, with 81 per cent of respondents expecting to keep investments for at least 10 years. However, the study pinpointed rising concerns about a shortage of bankable infrastructure opportunities.

More than 185 infrastructure investors and advisors took part in the survey, representing USD7 trillion in assets under management, which accounts for 10% of global assets under management.

A great deal of attention is paid to the preparation, procurement and negotiation processes of PPPs. However, this is only the start of delivering a successful project, and in many ways the most important work begins after financial close, during construction and operations, to ensure that the public is receiving the full benefit of the infrastructure services.

The reference tool is informed by an in-depth analysis of 250 PPP projects globally that reached financial close between 2005 and 2015 (inclusive) to understand the core issues that arise during the construction and operations phases of a PPP project. From those projects, 25 projects were selected to develop detailed case

The reference tool will be a useful aid for policy-makers and practitioners in their quest to improve project preparation practices and their capacity for preparing quality infrastructure projects, building upon the G20 Principles for the Infrastructure Project Preparation Phase.

The tool seeks to help address challenges faced by governments in early-stage project preparation through providing guidance and lessons learned in the enabling environment for project preparation; financing project preparation; infrastructure planning and project prioritisation; project feasibility, reviews and approvals; and project communication.

This reference tool is intended to provide guidance on early-stage activities within the infrastructure project development cycle, and the enablers required to create a conducive environment to prepare sustainable, bankable and procurement-ready infrastructure projects.

Illustrated by country examples, it reinforces conceptual aspects and approaches covering the formulation of infrastructure plans, project pipeline creation, feasibility evaluation, project reviews and approvals, project marketing and stakeholder communication.
