GLOBAL: Private Investment in Shared Infrastructure Toolkit
Maximizing the economic impact of telecommunications connectivity by reducing costs, enhancing competition, and increasing access by mainstreaming cross-sector infrastructure sharing.
The overall objective of this activity is to assist infrastructure operators and public sector agencies to identify cross-sector infrastructure sharing opportunities and provide them with the necessary knowledge products and tools to take advantage of synergies across infrastructure project in various sectors. Overall, this activity aims to maximize the economic impact of telecommunications connectivity by reducing costs, enhancing competition, and increasing access by mainstreaming cross-sector infrastructure sharing.
The objective of this PPIAF funded activity is achieved through the implementation of two activities:
- Develop a global online toolkit to provide governments with the tools to coordinate and implement shared infrastructure projects.
- Analyze specific examples from MENA (Algeria, Libya and Morocco) in support of the ongoing work to develop a regional broadband backbone network through a strategic and multi-sector approach.
While the shared infrastructure toolkit is under way the report on regional backbone network report is available below under the Broadband Networks in the Middle East and North Africa link.
