 The principal goal of the IFT Program is to build governments' capacity to develop sound infrastructure projects, including the effective application of the Public-Private Partnerships (P3) model.  Using both a project-specific approach and a longer-term focus on institutional strengthening, the IFT combines its infrastructure project experience with OTA's expertise in providing financial advice to governments worldwide.  IFT is committed to building the capacity of government officials to achieve excellent infrastructure project outcomes. The IFT program provides technical assistance and policy advice to senior officials at the Ministries of Public Works and Finance in host countries, as well as to other related government agencies.
