International Programmes Supported by DFID to Promote Private Participation in Infrastructure

The UK Department for International Development (www.dfid.gov.uk) supports a range of international programmes to promote private participation in infrastructure that contributes to growth and poverty reduction. All are being implemented jointly with other donors. DFID, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland and the World Bank have formed the Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG) to coordinate work on promoting private participation in infrastructure. It is hoped that others will join PIDG.
