The 拢25 million Global Infrastructure Programme will adapt and disseminate world-leading UK infrastructure methodologies, in order to produce sustainable and lasting change in partner countries.

Infrastructure is vital to a country鈥檚 prosperity both as an enabler of inclusive economic growth and of poverty reduction. Physical and organisational infrastructure, and facilities, including transport, energy, water and telecoms, are essential for a successful society. In addition, social infrastructure (schools, hospitals and housing) supports quality of life.

The programme operates in 3 Prosperity Fund priority countries: Colombia, Indonesia and Vietnam.

Key aims over a 3-phase approach are:

• support to partner countries/regions for infrastructure planning and business case development methodologies; led by the Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) working with private sector experts

• rolling out internationally-adapted models for pathfinder countries, based on the UK鈥檚 鈥�5 case model鈥� (5CM) and 鈥榠nfrastructure Project Initiation Routemap鈥� (PIR); and funding direct technical support for these pathfinder countries (in conjunction with private sector consultants)

• promoting the UK鈥檚 Building Information Modelling (BIM) methods and standards, which optimise the design, build and operation of key infrastructure by funding the development of local models and training.
