Document Summary:

The WBG Infrastructure Finance Academy (WBG website) - Mobilizing Private Sector Capital for Resilient, Inclusive, and Quality Infrastructure - was launched in 2024. 

Target audience: World Bank Group public sector clients, including PPP units, sector Ministries, Planning Ministries, Finance Ministries, Local Government and SOEs (utilities, finance, construction, etc.) and others relevant to the infrastructure finance ecosystem.

 

 


Document Details:

The Program will leverage WBG know-how in mobilizing additional sources of funding and financing for infrastructure by involving private investors. The Program is closely working with universities, development partners and Governments to share lessons learned and real-world examples. Under the right circumstances, Governments can mobilize additional sources of funding and financing for infrastructure by involving private investors.

The Program is organized around four components:

(i) Addressing Infrastructure Gaps through PPPs;

(ii) Creating the Enabling Environment for Infrastructure Finance – including the legal, regulatory, and institutional environment to mobilize private capital for infrastructure;

(iii) Adopting Financing Instruments to deliver Private Capital – including credit enhancement, insurance, guarantees, local currency finance;

(iv) Preparing Transactions to Meet Market Requirements and Achieve Best Value for Money.
