Implementation Notes
Action 1. Develop Comprehensive Infrastructure Action Plans
1. "Request regional
development banks (RDBs)
and the World Bank Group
(collectively, MDBs) to work
jointly to prepare action plans
that increase public, semi-public
and private funding and improve
implementation of national and
regional infrastructure projects,
including those for energy,
transport, communications and
water, in developing countries,
LICs in particular. The MDBs
will pursue actions in five areas
(see below). The final outcomes
should be reported to the Summit
in France and be accompanied
by an endorsement and
commentary by the HLP" (2010
MYAP).
2. "Information and needs
assessment: identify infrastructure
gaps, needs and funding
requirements, particularly
with respect to regional and
rural infrastructure, as well
as opportunities to promote
public-private and semi-public
partnerships" (see Commitment
13 on HLP report) (2010 MYAP).
