Description | Subproject 1 will provide ancillary capacity development support to DMCs to continuously improve their skills in project identification, preparation, structuring, and financing of infrastructure PPP projects as well as streamline DMC agencies' access to the resources of the AP3F. It will support a range of upstream activities and will give priority to infrastructure projects that (i) have a positive impact on regional connectivity and support regional economic integration; (ii) take into account climate change and are demonstrably climate-friendly and climate-resilient; and (iii) demonstrate value for money and the potential for replication in the sector, country, and/or region, amongst others. Subproject 1 resources will be made available to DMC agencies to help assess and build their capacity for integrated infrastructure and strategy planning; capital investment planning and programming; financial management; and project management and supervision. It will also include knowledge generation and dissemination on policy, fiscal, and institutional frameworks for sustainable delivery of PPP projects. This upstream support will enable DMC agencies to apply for project structuring and implementation support from AP3F later on. |
