Governance of Infrastructure

The governance of infrastructure is the policies, frameworks, norms, processes and tools, used by public bodies to plan, make decisions, implement and monitor the entire life cycle of public infrastructure. The Recommendation on the Governance of Infrastructure, adopted by the OECD Council in July 2020, provides countries with practical guidance for efficient, transparent and responsive decision-making processes in infrastructure investment. It supports a whole-of-government approach and covers the entire life cycle of infrastructure projects, putting special emphasis on regional, social, gender, and environmental considerations.

They serve as a diagnostic tool to help countries assess their current stage of implementation and identify the dimensions that may require more attention.
