Case studies Argentina Strengthening Public Investment Efficiency

The Multisectoral Pre-Investment Program IV (PMP-IV) aimed to enhance the efficiency of public investment in Argentina by improving the pre-investment cycle at national, provincial, and municipal levels. The program financed feasibility studies, strengthened institutional capacity, and supported project preparation to ensure high-quality investments. With a total funding of $25 million, PMP-IV facilitated the development of a pipeline of viable and executable projects, reducing delays and increasing technical quality in infrastructure planning.

Impact

The program generated a $27.28 billion portfolio of projects ready for execution, surpassing the initial target of $5.78 billion. It financed 171 pre-investment studies, supporting strategic planning and project structuring in key sectors such as water, sanitation, transportation, and urban development. PMP-IV improved the efficiency of the pre-investment process by cutting project preparation delays by 25%—from 142 days to 107 days — surpassing the target of 120 days. Additionally, 76% of feasibility studies advanced to detailed design. The adoption of digital tools like the Project and Works Management System enhanced transparency and coordination among national and subnational governments, ensuring long-term sustainability.
