Prioritizing Infrastructure Investment

Due to the huge amount of capital required for investments in infrastructure, governments need to prioritize projects. The World Bank’s Darwin Marcelo, Cledan Mandri-Perrott, Schuyler House and Jordan Schwartz offer an “Infrastructure Prioritization Framework” to help guide decisions. While this framework could be useful for cash-strapped governments that can’t engage in a more extensive analysis, it is, the authors admit, just a “stopgap approach”: While it doesn’t provide a conclusive list of projects for implementation, it does offer valuable data and decision criteria. getAbstract suggests this informative report to policy makers and managers interested in new investment evaluation techniques.
