ONE’s submission to the G20 High Level Panel on Infrastructure Investment
Last year, as part of the G20 Seoul Development Consensus, the G20 recognised the important role infrastructure plays in poverty alleviation and economic growth. A High Level Panel was set up to look at infrastructure funding and how best to mobilise and scale up financing for this important underfunded sector. Next month this panel will report back to the G20 with recommendations. However it is important when this happens that they appreciate that some infrastructure is more effective at alleviating poverty than others. To be most effective at tackling poverty reduction the High Level Panel should be aware of how best infrastructure can help alleviate poverty and the ways to ensure infrastructure benefits for the poorest. ONE recently sent a submission to them explaining the ways their recommendations and the G20 can ensure this. More
