The second CBN forum was organised in May 2016, where high level private sector and public sector met to accelerate PIDA implementation. The meeting explored concrete ways to address the problems associated with risks in trans-boundary infrastructure projects. It explored the critical role of the private and public sectors in de-risking PIDA projects, a critical step to secure long-term affordable finance for regional infrastructure projects. The private sector expressed increased interest and committed to enhanced involvement in the design, implementation and financing of PIDA PAP projects.
