This tool assists representatives from civil society organisations, government and business, to identify, assess and communicate the corruption risks arising during the selection of infrastructure projects – when decisions are being made about what type of projects are needed. The assessment levels encompass the “initial” (broader political and governance context) and “detailed” phase (project-specific vulnerabilities).

The Global Infrastructure Hub (GI Hub), a G20 initiative, and its consultant, Atkins Acuity, have created this Reference Tool on Inclusive Infrastructure. It defines inclusivity in large scale infrastructure projects. It also provides guidance and shares leading practices to maximise the impact of projects on reducing inequality and promoting shared prosperity.

Millennial Cities seeks to “serve as an all-purpose hub for interactive, data-driven visualization tools” and to support “planners, changemakers, and curious observers” by collecting publicly available web-mapping applications. The platform categorizes over 100 tools under themes such as culture, economy, environment, government, health, housing, justice, and transportation. Geographically, it provides dedicated pages listing state-level and city-level applications—for example, road-use dashboards for Baton Rouge, short-term rental maps for New Orleans, and transit-camera viewers for King County, WA

C.Scale (formerly the EPIC assessment) is a free, web-based whole-life carbon platform spun out from EHDD to enable climate-positive design decisions in the earliest phases of building and infrastructure projects, when data are scarce but the opportunity for emissions reduction is greatest. Leveraging machine-learning models trained on global building and infrastructure datasets, C.Scale combines region-specific background data, forward-looking carbon projections, and peer-reviewed embodied-carbon factors to deliver rapid “what-if” analyses of massing, materials, and energy strategies. In late 2024, the core EPIC team formed C.Scale as an independent public-benefit corporation—allowing for dedicated development, investor support, and integration into broader decarbonization workflows.

The PIEVC program comprises of a family of resources for climate risk and vulnerability assessments of infrastructure specifically designed for the needs of infrastructure practitioners that
– can be used for anything, from 1 single component of an infrastructure to an entire asset portfolio.
– can be used at any stage of the infrastructure lifecycle.
– use a threshold-based, component-by-component & participatory approach
– are ISO31000 and 14090 compliant
– Available resources (i.a.): PIEVC Protocol, PIEVC Large Portfolio Screening Manual, PIEVC Green as well as trainings on the tool

The Urban Mobility Scorecard (UMS) Tool is a digital instrument for cities to benchmark progress toward sustainable, inclusive mobility developed by the Global New Mobility Coalition of the World Economic Forum. The tool is guided by three fundamental pillars of sustainable mobility: Governance, Resilience, and Connectivity. It comprises seven questionnaire-based assessments to evaluate a cities’ progress on sustainable, inclusive mobility. It also allows the benchmarking of results by an anonymized comparison of cities’ results in the assessment and it provides supporting resources such as case studies and best practices to inspire future action. The questionnaires were tested with three trial cities from different geographical contexts to ensure that the questions in the scorecard tool are suited to a wide range of cities, recognizing different legislative, regulatory and economic powers, as well as the geographical scope of cities.

Women and girls are among the most affected by climate change, yet lacking data often result in gender-blind local climate action and policies. Her4Climate is centred on the knowledge and capacities of women in urban areas. The participatory tool provides a framework for assessing women’s exposure, sensitivity and capacity to respond to climate change in cities in 3 dimensions: (1) Health and Wellbeing, (2) Built and Natural Environments, (3) Governance and Decision-making, and aims at promoting their participation and agency in the design and management of urban climate adaptation initiatives and plans.

The PIDA Job Creation Toolkit is a service provided by NEPAD to catalyse a new African jobs focus in the development and operation of Africa’s infrastructure projects, maximising the number and quality of African jobs. The PIDA Job Creation Toolkit methodology considers a broad range of labour market effects, including direct job creation, indirect job creation, and induced job creation. It aims to catalog results from African infrastructure projects’ preparation, construction, and operation. Additionally, the methodology estimates secondary job effects, which are jobs created in other sectors of the economy due to the operational infrastructure service provided. The toolkit’s job maximization module aims to help project Owners, technical partners, and government policymakers can estimate the total job impact from their projects and maximize the number of jobs created on the African continent by specific projects without a reduction in quality.

Strengthening Climate Resilience: Guidance for Governments and Development Co-operation aims to support governments of developing countries and providers of development co-operation in strengthening the resilience of human and natural systems to the impacts of climate change. It highlights three overall considerations to help ensure planning and implementation of actions to enhance climate resilience also support broader sustainable development objectives. It further outlines four mechanisms that can facilitate a focus on climate resilience in national, sub-national and sectoral policy processes, and three key enablers for strengthening climate resilience. The guidance can be used by different stakeholders across levels of governance, including government officials at national and sub-national levels, and providers of development co-operation. It may also provide insights to other development partners, including civil society organisations (CSOs) and private-sector actors. 

The PPP Reference Guide helps users to navigate the abundant knowledge on Public Private Partnerships. The Guide introduces key topics on PPP, sets forth options and directs users to implementation examples and references. The three modules of the Guide (1) explain the reasons for using PPPs, (2) point to the necessary policy, legal and institutional frameworks to ensure that PPPs achieve their objectives and (3) provide an overview of the development and implementation processes of PPPs.
