Supporting infrastructure development in developing countries through a range of advisory services for financial analysis, project formulation, institutional systems reform and organizational improvement

Projects to build, operate and manage public infrastructure such as electric power facilities, water supply systems and sewerage, as well as public transportation systems, are essential for the economic development of developing countries. Japan provides support to these projects through official development assistance (ODA) loans and grant aids. In recent years, with an aim to improve project-implementation efficiency through the use of private funds, there are more cases of public-private partnerships (PPPs) as well. To meet this diversification of project-implementation schemes, in addition to PPP design, we at KRC assist the preparation stage of infrastructure projects through support for financial planning, economic and financial analysis, and project structuring. We also provide consulting services for institutional systems reform and organizational improvement in relevant sectors.
