Strengthening Institutions |
Infrastructure
investments can only
succeed where
planning, policy and
legal frameworks are
in place, regulatory
enforcement is
viable, an informed
and cooperative
consumer base
exists, cost
recovery is a
reality, and often,
a PPP enabling
environment is
created to support
financing,
development,
operations,
management,
maintenance and cost
recovery.
Recognizing this,
GlobalWorks
parallels physical
infrastructure
investment with the
strengthening and
restructuring of
implementing
institutions, in
order to
enhance
service provision
over the long term.
Our approach is
individualized and
dynamic, responding
directly to the
constraints of
institutions and
their service
environments.
Together with local
counterparts, we
work through
processes of
organizational
development,
strategic planning
and human resource
development, to
formulate and
implement practical
and achievable
reform initiatives,
which are
sustainable over the
long term.

Samoa, Tuvalu, Cook
islands, Nauru,
Micronesia, Palau, Papua
New Guinea and Kiribati
Challenge
To identify and evaluate
key constraints facing
urban infrastructure in
the Pacific islands.
Outputs
This unique assignment

from ten Pacific island
nations over a period of
18 months, to identify,
classify and prioritize
key service delivery
issues and solutions in
the power, water,
environmental, transport
and telecom sectors...
Impacts
The assignment enabled
infrastructure leaders
to take action to
address identified

necessitate improvements
in market
liberalization,
corporatization of
government service
