BR-T1500 : Brazil Investments Monitor for Sustainability and Innovation at Subnational Level

The objective of this TC is to expand to subnational level the Investments Monitor for Sustainability and Innovation, an infrastructure planning and management tool developed in partnership with the Brazilian Federal Government. The Monitor will enhance subnational governments´ efforts in the planning, governance, and transparency of infrastructure investments, while integrating sustainability concepts throughout the entire life cycle of infrastructure projects, from planning to decommissioning. The project will also deliver on enhancement of state governments' institutional capacity to plan and develop a pipeline of infrastructure projects that are: i) of better quality; ii) more sustainable (greener, inclusive, equitable, and based on sound governance); bankable, and that iv) can more easily attract private investors. The tool construction will allow for the determination of criteria to identify, align, prioritize, and present the most relevant information on each state's infrastructure: (i) present status, (ii) expansion plans (iii) strategies to attract investments and (iv) progress achieved. Components include: 1. Development of the Investments Monitor for Sustainability and Innovation tool at Subnational Level; 2. Adaptation of the integrated sustainability methodology and tool of the Investments Monitor at subnational level; and 3. Governance and Integration of National and Subnational Monitors.
