A SOURCE Introduction What is SOURCE? Online infrastructure project preparation tool Accessible for public agencies and international organizations Project information is structured within sector-specific templates: Stage of Preparation Themes Stage of Preparation Sector/Sub-sector Country Project management/monitoring features Public pipeline of projects

A SOURCE Introduction Key Features A project preparation & management platform An engagement platform A knowledge & learning platform A data bank 1 – A project preparation & management platform: SOURCE is a global collaborative platform that enables infrastructure stakeholders to work together with the common goal of bridging the project preparation and development requirements of the public and private sectors, in order to foster sustainable infrastructure investment and delivery. 2 – An engagement platform: SOURCE enables collaboration between all the stakeholders (MDBs, development finance institutions, infrastructure investors, consultancy firms, contractors and lenders). The processes that are put in place with SOURCE provide potential investors all the information and security they need to finance assets. 3 – A knowledge & learning platform: SOURCE acts as a global knowledge platform that provides its users with project preparation best practices, by collecting and aggregating the standards and returns on experience that are developed by public and private infrastructure professionals globally. SOURCE can also connect implementing agencies with curated knowledge products from MDBs and other organisations. 4 – A data bank: SOURCE aggregates and provides consistent data on all aspects of the development of an infrastructure project through standardised templates covering countries, sectors, themes (financial, economic, legal, technical, governance, environmental and social) and procurement models.

B SOURCE Approach and Benefits Operational Benefits Change Management: Easy to set up and to use Flexible: templates can be adapted to a country’s framework, hence minimizing the need to change procedures Transparency and accountability: Log of all inputs (or absence of), identifying individual project stakeholder Track of changes of timeline, project cost, etc. across project life Incentive for more data disclosure Collaboration: Link all project stakeholders (government, MDBs, institutional private) on a same platform Templates translated in 9 languages, including pre-defined answers to questions: 80% of project description, including all “key questions”, is available in any language Standardization: Standard protocol for government agencies to screen, define and prepare projects Consistent presentation of project characteristics and status for private sector

B SOURCE Approach and Benefits Data Types Real time update vs. batch update Project (Infrastructure) level vs. aggregated data Primary Data vs. Secondary Data Project Manager owner of data Data Security: Platform level on private cloud behind firewall At the project level, each project environment is ringfenced Individual level: management of access rights Structured Data Consistency checks Primitive Data (numeric, boolean, dates…) Aggregated national/global benchmarks Analysis (external) Composite Data (string of text) Lessons learned Unstructured Data Knowledge Bank Reports, PIM, Bidding documents, etc. Data room during tender

B SOURCE Approach and Benefits Data Usage Information structured by Stage and thematic group: Granular monitoring of project progress Track cost/time overruns and identify key bottlenecks (during preparation and implementation) In-app data analysis: Check of project information against eligibility criteria for PPF, green financing, etc. Consistency checks Reporting at portfolio/organization level Project screening / guidance on best procurement method Data Source and Data Bank: Data can be pre-processed (e.g. anonymized) by SOURCE then shared with partners Government agencies produce structured data that can feed global benchmarks/indicators, hence regaining control over information published on these platforms

B SOURCE Approach and Benefits Data Disclosure Quantity and quality of information published on SOURCE has to materially increase to meet private sector’s needs Focus on increasing number of projects AND quality of information published with each project Following approaches are taken: Integrate SOURCE within government agencies and MDBs operational systems; Scale up training for government agencies for project screening and preparation with SOURCE; Provide incentives to governments to publish projects (from the platform, but also from MDBs); Review the design of the public pipeline to highlight projects which include more information; Prepare a knowledge product on data categorization and confidentiality

C Sustainable Infrastructure Foundation (SIF) Governance SIF, a not-for-profit Swiss foundation, coordinates the provision of SOURCE. It is guided by: Advisory Board, composed of major Multilateral Development Banks, Project Preparation Facilities and International Finance Institutions; Strategic Committee, composed of representatives from the private sector; and Public Sector Committee (under creation), composed of representatives from government users. Discussions are on-going for MDBs to enter SIF Council. Advisory Board: AfDB - African Development Bank AsDB - Asian Development Bank BNDES - Banco National de Desenvolvimento Economico e Social CAF- Banco de Desarrollo de América Latina DBSA - Development Bank of Southern Africa EBRD - European Bank for Reconstruction and Development IaDB - Inter-American Development Bank IsDB - Islamic Development Bank WBG - World Bank Group Under discussion: AIIB - Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank EIB - European Investment Bank NDB - New Development Bank Strategic Committee
