Course Introduction
Strong governance is the foundation of successful infrastructure development. Without clearly defined roles, transparent decision-making, and robust oversight, infrastructure projects risk delays, cost overruns, regulatory non-compliance, and reputational harm. A comprehensive governance and infrastructure framework ensures that projects are aligned with national priorities, managed responsibly, and delivered for long-term public benefit.
This 2-day training provides a practical blueprint for designing and implementing governance structures that support infrastructure planning, funding, execution, and lifecycle management. Participants will explore global best practices in institutional frameworks, stakeholder alignment, risk management, and policy integration.
