Economic evaluation of Zambian transport infrastructure investment 2010 to 2020
The FCDO invites registers of interest by 5 May 2024 to attend an early market engagement event for an economic evaluation of Zambian transport infrastructure investment 2010 to 2020.
The FCDO’s Responsible Infrastructure Investment (RII) campaign aims to reduce the damaging effects of undertaking infrastructure projects in low-income countries without economic appraisal and competitive procurement. The campaign seeks to promote greater transparency and accountability for all aspects of public infrastructure investment including project appraisal and selection.
Zambia’s transport sector is potentially a valuable source of quantitative evidence for Zambians and for the RII campaign generally. In view of this, we are proposing an ex-post economic evaluation study of Zambian transport infrastructure investment 2010 to 2020. The study will assess the economic impact of public infrastructure investment in Zambia’s Transport sector over the period 2010 to 2020, focussing on roads and airports.
Organisations from the UK and all ODA-eligible countries (PDF, 640 KB) can apply.
What the fund will achieve
