Sub-Saharan Africa requires $93 billion annually for infrastructure needs but receives only $45 billion, leaving a $17 billion funding gap and $31 billion efficiency gap. Political risk insurance can help mobilize private sector funding by mitigating risks such as expropriation, currency inconvertibility, and breach of contract. The Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency has seen growth in such insurance issuance and is particularly active in riskier markets below investment grade.
PwC is a global leader in project finance and infrastructure advisory, having closed 325 deals worth $99.9 billion over the last decade. They provide services across the entire asset lifecycle for major infrastructure sectors. While institutional investment in infrastructure is increasing, many projects remain delayed due to land acquisition issues, political/regulatory risks, and concerns over revenue and operating models. To attract more pension fund investment, governments must address illiquidity, lack of reliable business plans, and regulatory/geographic mismatches between projects and investors. Infrastructure bonds and specialized funds could help fill long-term financing gaps if the right market conditions are established.

The Center for OSH Sustainability was launched in 2012 as a means to show stakeholders how occupational health and safety initiatives support sustainability. The business model defines how risk governane can be applied to identify, assess and evaluate, commmunicate, manage, and control occupational health and safety hazards in the workplace and off-the-job during recreational and sporting activities. The 24/7 approach to safety and health provides a better culture, performance, and productiivty in the lives of workers and their families. The support within the organization is transformed outside the organization so workers return home and back to work safely and healthy.
Brief On Sustainable Agriculture Precious Finalguest502056
This document discusses sustainable agriculture as an alternative to conventional agriculture. It provides definitions and principles of sustainable agriculture, highlighting its focus on environmental, economic and social sustainability. Evidence shows organic and sustainable methods can produce sufficient global food supply without increasing farmland. However, adoption of sustainable practices faces constraints like lack of biomass, tenure insecurity, and weak institutions. The document recommends policies and further research to promote sustainable agriculture practices and overcome adoption barriers.

This presentation discusses the 2000-Watt Site certification process, which provides standards and labels for sustainable infrastructure development sites. The certification is derived from existing energy management systems used by over 1000 municipalities in Europe, including the European Energy Award. It establishes quantitative energy and emissions targets during planning and operation of development sites. Certification requires the municipality be certified under the Energy City program and the site meet size and use criteria. Sites are evaluated on energy use, emissions, construction, mobility and management systems to achieve 2000-Watt Site certification. The developer in the example site seeks the certification to meet stakeholder expectations and position as a leader in sustainable construction.
