The Landscape of Project Preparation 2024
Project Preparation Facilities support cities in developing bankable, investment-ready projects, typically from a project’s concept, design, or scoping stage up to the financial close.
This analysis maps and identifies the key characteristics of the PPF support offered to cities to prepare sustainable and climate-resilient infrastructure projects. Its main goals are to understand the gaps and opportunities for improving this project preparation support at the urban level and increase collaboration among PPFs.
Building on CCFLA’s 2021 gap analysis of city-focused PPFs, this work has the following objectives:
- Creating an updated and more comprehensive mapping of PPFs, as of 2024.
- Comparing data from 2021 and 2024, where relevant, to capture the evolution of this support.
- Identifying data gaps that limit our understanding of the PPF landscape.
This analysis focuses on the number of PPFs present globally rather than their capacity (e.g., funding volume or total projects covered). While it examines PPFs’ formal eligibility criteria and support offerings, it does not evaluate their activities or how supported projects compare to the eligibility criteria. It also does not examine the alignment of PPF support offerings with cities’ needs, though this is a potential area for future research.
