Quality infrastructure Investment or QII. What is it? Why is it important for people on the planet? This free self-paced course offers a path forward to building back economies in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis. The pandemic wreaked havoc across the globe, destroyed lives, strained healthcare systems, and weakened economies, but it also affirmed the value of maintaining existing infrastructure. As governments move to exit the crisis, many are looking to adopt solutions like those set forth in the QII principles backed by the 2019 G20 summit. The consensus infrastructure is a significant driver of economic prosperity. Positive impact is maximized with sustainable systems that are built to last. But a business as usual approach to recovery will no longer do. Green, resilient and inclusive development must be central to the design of infrastructure investment programs. This course offers insight into how using smart infrastructure investments can offer long-term solutions to recovery efforts. From the basics of quality infrastructure investment to the concept of good practices and life cycle cost approach. You'll learn how implementing resilience and inclusion into infrastructure programs build sustainable development. At this pivotal moment, climate change mitigation and lasting economic recovery depend on a coordinated response to building the future of quality infrastructure. For infrastructure investment to become a fundamental part of the solution, we have to look further than brick and mortar infrastructure assets alone. Quality infrastructure means better services, transparent infrastructure governance, and solutions that meet everyone's needs. We hope you will join us for this course and learn what your country can do to invest in an infrastructure for the future.
