These are the technical structures that support a society, such as roads, water supply, power grids, flood management systems and communications; all of which are largely owned and managed by local and national governments.

To get the resources to world markets, waterways are needed and road, rail, ports and power lines must be put in place or upgraded.

This has been prompted by recognizing that adequate infrastructure is needed to attract larger investments, available only from private funding.
