Learning resources for better infrastructure governance

Hands-on Master Class programmes you can run with your own teams, regional practice groups, or government counterparts — plus video guides on public investment practice, process mapping, design thinking, and cost-benefit analysis.

Model Learning Templates

Model half-day, three-contact-hour courses and clinics built around learning by doing — applying the pim-pam.net Geospatial Planning and Budgeting (GPB) tools to public investment projects in each country and regional context. Backed by the InfraGov 2.0 framework, the aim is to move from “less memos, to more demos”: results that can be replicated and scaled across clients.

Master Class 101

Public Investment & Asset Management (PIM-PAM): Foundations, Tools & Operations

An integrated overview of public investment and asset management — why it matters, who is involved, the InfraGov 2.0 framework, and the pim-pam.net toolset.

Public Investment Portfolio Rationalization

Identify and tackle shortcomings in existing capital spending portfolios — weak project rationales, cost and time overruns, and climate risk exposure — and prioritise what to keep, restructure or stop.

Master Class 201

Public Investment Project Preparation with Online Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA)

Lead with the Project Readiness application to strengthen and review concept notes at the pre-appraisal stage, then take projects further with eCBA — economic cost-benefit analysis, sensitivity testing and Reference Class Forecasting to counter cost and time biases.

How Deliveries Work

  • A regional Director or Practice Manager typically initiates a module; the task team then defines current client priorities and staff learning needs.
  • Cohorts are ideally no more than 15–20 people, to keep engagement and exchange strong.
  • Deliveries are ideally face-to-face, but can also run in a hybrid fashion (for example DC morning / regional afternoon slots).
  • Regional teams identify specific country project pipelines and portfolio issues, which are then integrated into the delivery.
  • Versions can be tailored to government counterparts or to national and sub-national trainer-of-trainers deliveries, customized to the relevant national PIM-PAM policy context (see the pim-pam.ai PIM Country Policy Profiles and AI Coach).
  • Events can be delivered through Bank- or Recipient-executed activities.
