Benchmarking Infrastructure Development

Benchmarking Infrastructure Development 2020 builds on the success of the Procuring Infrastructure PPPs 2018, which focused specifically on PPPs. It updates the assessment for PPPs in 140 economies and expands its thematic coverage to include the assessment of TPIs in 40 pilot economies.

Benchmarking Infrastructure Development 2020 assesses the quality of regulatory frameworks for preparation, procurement, and management of large infrastructure projects. To do this, it relies on standardized questionnaires designed to collect data for further comparison of each country's regulatory framework with internationally recognized good practices. As announced earlier in the report, Benchmarking Infrastructure Development 2020 expands its thematic coverage to include the assessment of TPI regulatory frameworks in a subset of 40 pilot economies. Consequently, the team underwent a similar survey development process as was used for the PPP survey. Identification of internationally recognized good practices for the development of large infrastructure projects, both through PPP and TPI modalities, relied on research of the relevant literature (see Bibliography). The Expert Consultative Group (ECG), which includes seasoned PPP and TPI professionals, academics, and individuals from the private sector, was consulted at various stages. Initial consultations with key ECG members allowed the team to produce an initial meaningful version of the new TPI survey. A wider virtual review with all ECG members was performed to confirm the contents of the new TPI survey and to refine the PPP survey.
