3rd Latin American Infrastructure Forum 20–21: “Investment in Infrastructure: Institutions and Funds Mobilization”
The Forum aims to share experiences and views among public policy makers in infrastructure in the countries of the region, institutions and businesses about the new guidelines in this field, following the traumatic experiences of the pandemic caused by COVID-19 and its impact on local economies. We believe that based on shared lessons it is possible to take joint action to improve our public policies in this field in order to move forward on the path of development. Since 2018, the Forum has become a major platform for senior national authorities to reflect on long-term public infrastructure policies.
