Ferdinand Pot, Simon Stone and Martin Johnson

No 80, SIGMA Papers from OECD Publishing

Abstract: This Guidance provides practical recommendations on the design and use of the Single Project Pipeline as a tool for managing public investments. The Single Project Pipeline intends to ensure that investment projects are well prepared, fiscally sustainable, and aligned with national and sector priorities before they receive funding from public budgets. The Guidance presents a definition, essential pre-conditions and 11 principles that need to be honoured for its effective implementation.
