Second Ministerial Session: Good Governance of Infrastructure and Public Private Partnerships implementation and good practices

Nov 10, 2025 | 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM
Main Room

Description

Closing infrastructure gaps in energy, transport, water, and telecommunications, is essential for enhancing productivity, reducing costs, and improving access to services for vulnerable groups, as well as to build resilience to natural hazards. However, the governance of infrastructure projects often faces challenges like time delays, cost overruns, and integrity issues. The OECD Recommendations on Infrastructure Governance and Public Governance of Public Private Partnerships (PPP) offer an opportunity for LAC countries to enhance governance standards and ensure infrastructure delivery is guided by value for money principles. Furthermore, in a context where fiscal space is limited, a robust framework to leverage private investment is a must. This session will address what LAC countries are doing to strengthen the governance of infrastructure and, particularly, to attract and secure private investment.
