An online platform to aid the sourcing of information, data, and tools
for sustainable infrastructure decision-making from the work of the
Development Corridors Partnership
The work of the Development Corridors Partnership (DCP) has improved the
rigour, relevance and quality of interdisciplinary development corridor
research and built capacity to help decision-maker plan and implement
corridors that are more sustainable, climate resilient, nature positive
and inclusive.
The DCP Resources Hub platform aims to strengthen the accessibility and
visibility of available tools and resources by the partnership. It
provide routes to support decision-making to assist corridor financiers,
government agencies, capacity building initiatives, and civil society in
planning, implementation and monitoring phases to help deliver more
sustainable development corridors.
It includes a decision-tree that maps out the broad phases of the
development corridor lifecycle process, a filterable directory of all
available DCP resources, a list of useful online Tools & Resources
to better inform and guide governments at each stage of the investment
process, and a list of short term trainings and professional development
courses.
The diverse development corridor research carried out by the DCP has
been synthesised into many accessible outputs to help different
stakeholders access the most relevant evidence to improve their
decision-making. These key outputs can be found below:
