Provision of a Delivery Partner for the UK-ASEAN Sustainable Infrastructure Modular Course

Over the past few months, the UK and ASEAN have been collaborating closely on Sustainable Infrastructure; exchanging broad ideas on project planning, preparation and appraisal, funding and procurement, and establishing sustainability in practice.

Building on this momentum, the UK has decided to further boost ASEAN Member States' capacity by creating a modular course sharing best practise and lesson learnt for developing truly sustainable infrastructure which maximises on the socio-economic benefits for the region. Aimed at policy makers and practitioners, this course will: 1. Support the Framework for Improving ASEAN Infrastructure Productivity through exchanging knowledge on upstream infrastructure management. Share best practise on developing and implementing robust, merit-based frameworks for project screening, planning and appraisal; including assessing value for money, commercial viability, financial affordability and operational deliverability. 2. Share lessons learned on implementing sustainability in practice, including preserving ecological value of the site and optimising existing infrastructure projects and assets. 3. Support the Framework for Improving ASEAN Infrastructure Productivity through exchanging knowledge and best practise on attracting private sector investment. Strengthen capacity on public investment management and procurement. The curriculum, designed by the Authority, will be as follows:  Theme 1: Introduction to Sustainability & Infrastructure Planning  Theme 2: Frameworks  Theme 3: Project Planning  Theme 4: Project Preparation  Theme 5: Sustainable Project Financing  Theme 6: Contracting The course will involve participants from all ten AMS.
