The US Government has committed to help build a pipeline of quality infrastructure projects in low- and middle-income countries that contribute to inclusive, sustainable growth, and that attract private capital. This review focuses on the earliest stages of infrastructure project development and the enabling conditions within a country that contribute to the development of a pipeline of quality infrastructure projects. The authors offer recommendations on how to prioritize US foreign assistance in these early stages to improve the likelihood of drawing subsequent private-sector financing.
The report, created in collaboration with the Department of State and informed by key interviews with governmental and nongovernmental international infrastructure experts, provides general recommendations grounded in experience from prior foreign assistance resources and projects to address this growing global need.
