Fourth and final IWG meeting of the G20 for 2025 The Sustainable Infrastructure Foundation was honoured to participate in the 4th and final meeting of the G20 Infrastructure Working Group, held at the beautiful Norval Foundation in Cape Town, South Africa, from 22–23 September 2025. Our CEO joined fellow IWG colleagues from around the world for two days of productive discussions and collaboration on advancing sustainable infrastructure. Day One featured rich seminars on social infrastructure, the role of development finance institutions, and cross-border infrastructure topics. The day concluded with a memorable evening cocktail event at a prestigious Cape Town winery, offering excellent opportunities for further discussion and networking. Day Two focused on reviewing the 2025 IWG deliverables for all three priorities and sharing outcomes. We were proud to see the Priority One Framework presented by the World Bank Group and our fellow colleagues and co-authors for the deliverables under Priority One, a highlight that celebrated months of work. We thank the South African Presidency for their leadership and our colleagues across the Priority One team for their dedication in driving all deliverables to completion. Over the course of these two days, we also took the opportunity to meet with a wide range of important stakeholders to align on our continued strategy and revenue model for 2025–2030. We are committed to working towards a self-sustaining model, and the future of SIF is looking strong. We have a wide range of business intelligence solutions in the pipeline, informed by excellent discussions and innovative ideas generated through this year’s collaboration with G20 members and invited countries. This meeting marked a strong conclusion to the 2025 IWG series and sets the stage for meaningful impact on the G20’s work ahead. We look forward to seeing these efforts reflected in the G20 agenda later this year and to continuing our collaboration in future activities. All phot

At the 9th UNECE International PPP Forum in Belgrade, SIF joined global leaders to explore innovative approaches to sustainable infrastructure through PPPs. In Policy Debate 1, our intervention introduced participants to Source, the multilateral platform that supports governments in the preparation and development of infrastructure projects. Source provides essential tools to enhance project transparency, governance, and accountability, while helping build a robust, investable pipeline. The platform also plays a critical role in advancing the development of sustainable, climate-resilient, and SDG-aligned infrastructure. SIF’s contribution highlighted Source’s relevance for project assessment using the UNECE PIERS Evaluation Methodology, which has been digitalised within the platform. This integration allows project officers to gain a preliminary indication of how their projects align with the UNECE PIERS Evaluation Methodology, prior to entering the formal certification process. Thank you to UNECE for the opportunity to contribute! public.sif-source.org/mdbs-i… @UNECE #PPP #sustainable #SDGs
