WHEN TO USE IT
To improve planning processes by identifying red flags in early-stage decision-making and planning processes for water and sanitation infrastructure.
To monitor infrastructure planning and hold authorities accountable.
HOW IT WORKS
FIIP is a data framework, with indicators and data standards for integrity.
It covers early phases of infrastructure projects (Strategic planning, Screening and appraisal including feasibility studies, and Budgeting and approval).
It evaluates 7 risk areas: from undue influence in decision-making, to misaligned priorites, or manipulated budget processes.
HOW IT WAS DEVELOPED
FIIP was developed with CoST – Infrastructure Transparency Initiative with support from the Inter-American Development Bank.
It has been piloted in Latin America where it helped highlight possible areas of improvement for procuring entities related to: feasibility studies, use and correlation of data on service levels to aid decision-making, and compliance with procedures.

HOW TO USE IT
We are currently piloting the framework further and open to collaboration with procuring and implementing agencies.
