THE BLUE DOT NETWORK: A proposal for a global certification framework for quality infrastructure

The Blue Dot Network represents an innovative solution to help mobilise private sector investment by identifying and encouraging market-driven, transparent and sustainable infrastructure projects. It establishes a voluntary, private-sector focused, government-supported project-level certification scheme developed in alignment with the G20 Principles for Quality Infrastructure Investment, the Sustainable Development Goals, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) Performance Standards, the Equator Principles, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the OECD Recommendation on the Governance of Infrastructure. By promoting, facilitating and streamlining the application of international standards and best practices, the Blue Dot Network aims to create a level playing field and build trust around quality infrastructure investments.
