Document Summary:
This synthesis report summarises findings from a research programme on private finance for infrastructure investment.

Document Details:
This research focused on two components. The first is articulating and, to the extent possible, quantifying the nature of the problem. The second involves research into potential solutions to developing bankable projects and to improving access to finance (particularly as regards deployment of donor funding interventions). The emphasis is on the provision of a robust evidence base, taking into account limitations in the information available in the public domain, to shed light on both the nature of the problem and the potential solutions.
The ultimate objective of the research is to improve the evidence base for donors, Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) and partner governments, which will help with planning and programming in the areas of developing and financing infrastructure projects.
