    Developing Bankable Transport Infrastructure Projects: Case Studies, Experiences and Learning Materials for LLDCs and Transit Countries These learning materials were developed for capacity building activities to strengthen capacity to develop bankable transport infrastructure projects and transport connectivity in landlocked developing countries and transit countries. The learning materials were commissioned by the United Nations Office of the High Representative for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States (UN-OHRLLS) in collaboration with partners UNESCAP, UNECA, UNECE, UNECLAC, African Development Bank and Asian Development Bank. UN-OHRLLS and partners worked with Mr. Glory Jonga in preparing the training materials. The views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the United Nations. The funding for the preparation of these learning materials was made possible through the project led by UN-OHRLLS entitled: Strengthening the capacity of Landlocked Developing Countries under the “Belt and Road Initiative” to design and implement policies that promote transport connectivity for the achievement of the SDGs which is funded by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Sub-Fund - United Nations Peace and Development Trust Fund. 1 | Page TABLE OF CONTENTS Identification and Preparation of Bankable Transport Module 1 Infrastructure Projects to Improve Transport Connectivity 2 Identifying Funding Sources and Requirements for Module 2 Bankable Infrastructure Projects 48 How to
