Initial Listing DATABASE ON RESOURCES AND FACILITIES FOR QUALITY INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT May 2019 Executive Summary Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the World Bank Group (World Bank). Introduction Throughout May 2019, the detailed QII Principles were developed by the IWG and the number of Principles At the 2016 G20 Hangzhou Summit, the G20 Leaders increased from five to six. The GI Hub has updated the adopted a declaration “stressing the importance of Database to reflect the IWG’s agreed position and will quality infrastructure investment, which aims to ensure continue to reflect any changes required by the G20. economic efficiency in view of life-cycle cost, safety, About the QII Database resilience against natural disaster, job creation, capacity building, and transfer of expertise and know-how on The Japanese Presidency of the G20 has asked for the mutually agreed terms and conditions, while addressing creation of a QII Database, to provide a one-stop social and environmental impacts and aligning with reference to existing resources for policymakers, project economic and development strategies” . agencies and the private sector to plan and implement quality infrastructure investments. The Database will be In 2018, the G20’s Infrastructure Working Group (IWG) a dynamic reference tool for governments and identified the key elements for infrastructure growth in practitioners involved in infrastructure planning and the “Roadmap to Infrastructure as an Asset Class”. The delivery. It is built on a review and classification of Roadmap is organised under three overarching pillars existing resources and facilities across the six identified and seven work-streams. Quality Infrastructure is one of categories of QII Principles. the key work-streams identified under the second pillar The Database builds on an assessment of 466 materials, - improving the investment environment for covering both resources and facilities, which are infrastructure. In line with this objective, in 2019 the IWG intended to guide stakeholders in planning and has sought to develop Principles for Quality executing quality infrastructure investments. Apart from Infrastructure Investment (QII) in six categories, as the classification of the materials under the six follows: categories of QII Principles and various sub-categories, the Database also captures other salient aspects of the materials, including key objectives, year of publishing (for resources) / establishment (for facilities), geographic scope, sectoral focus, and policy area. The database content is organised under facilities and resources, as described below: Resources: Under this grouping, 343 resources have been identified, under the headings of framework/toolkits (16%), reference guides (19%), study reports (13%), websites, data and analysis (20%), publications, academic papers, and others (32%). Facilities: Under this grouping, 123 facilities have Against this background, the G20 IWG has asked the been identified, of which at least 50% provide Global Infrastructure Hub (GI Hub) to prepare an online multiple forms of support, including guarantees and 1 2 database (the Database) of ‘resources’ and ‘facilities’ technical assistance, project preparation, and relating to QII. This work has been undertaken in investment support. Around 48% of the facilities conjunction with the Organisation for Economic identified provide project preparation assistance of 1 For the purpose of this Database, a “resource” refers to 2 For the purpose of this Database, a “facility” refers to a guidance materials, toolkits, study reports and other program or ‘window’ offering financial support (in the forms of knowledge products pertaining to Quality Infrastructure grants, equity investments, debt investments or project Investment . preparation support) pertaining to QII. some form. The facilities are mainly managed by Attached as Annex 1 is an instruction guide on using the multilateral development banks (MDBs), national online Database. The lists of resources and facilities, and sub-sovereign governments. which can be found in Annexes 2 and 3, are organised by the name of the organisation(s) which has/have The compilation of the database under these two produced the resource or facility. It should be noted that groupings follows a review of the G20/OECD/World the lists in Annexes 2 and 3 do not contain links to the Bank 2018 Stocktake of Tools and Instruments related resources and facilities, but these links are provided in to Infrastructure as an Asset Class , plus the GI Hub’s the online version of the Database. Annex 4 is a sample own database of resources and facilities, along with of the template used to collect data from the contributing submissions to the GI Hub’s structured questionnaire by organisations. This template in Annex 4 refers to the individual G20 countries, MDBs and other international original five draft principles, and GI Hub has since organisations. In addition, these inputs have been updated the Database to incorporate the sixth principle supplemented by independent secondary research (now QII Principle 1) that was added as a result of the undertaken by the GI Hub. Following this mapping and subsequent IWG agreement. compilation of information, the strategic fit of these resources and facilities to each of the six categories of QII Principles was identified. Annex 1 – How to Use the Database The Database is intended to serve as a single-stop point of guidance for policymakers, practitioners, investors, citizens and project companies to access reference materials and resources for ensuring quality in infrastructure planning and delivery. The Database sets out: (i) master lists of resources and facilities supporting QII; (ii) the geographic scope of the resources and facilities; (iii) the sectoral focus and policy areas addressed by the resources and facilities; and (iv) additional information on the objectives of the resources and facilities. It is envisaged that the Database will be a dynamic knowledge product, which will be refined and updated on an ongoing basis. The Database is structured to assist stakeholders in project planning and preparation by providing specific guidance materials and information on facilities for delivering quality infrastructure investment. For example, a project preparation agency based in a developing economy may wish to employ the latest practices in improving the economic efficiency of projects (which falls under Principle 2 of the QII), using resources developed by MDBs or by the governments of advanced economies. In such cases, policymakers may select all the resources associated with QII Principle 2. Policymakers may also select specific sub-categories under each principle for more targeted search results. Similar selections can be made in respect of the listed facilities.
