Planning
12th Annual Meeting of the OECD Network of Senior PPP and Infrastructure Officials
Paris, 16 April 2019
4. Challenges to the planning process
Multiple objectives (subject to interpretation)
Politics and political cycles
Risk and uncertainty about the future
Methodological shortcomings
Complex results
5. How to help decision makers reconcile multiple objectives
in the planning process?
Clear, transparent, integrated & collaborative process that accounts for
all impacts (also transformative)
A combination of bottom-up & top-down approaches
Cross-sectoral analysis that accounts for risks and
interdependencies
Independent agency
Cannot replace politicians (=leadership & commitment)
Can provide all stakeholders with the full range of information on
which to build decisions
Monitoring & evaluation
6. WG Strategic Infrastructure Planning is looking
into these challenges
A two-year platform for discussion among relevant policy makers and
experts to push forward the research envelope on strategic infrastructure
