PIARC taskforce 1.1 on good project preparation has produced two reports in 2022, unfortunately with limited participation of LMICs; the new taskforce TF 1.3 tries to make up for this gap, focusing in particular on project studies financing issues and the role of development banks. The webinar aims at a fruitful discussion to collect experience from all interested parties.
