The IIO has two main aims:

ONE

The first is to improve the quality and rate of infrastructure investment by strengthening project preparation and governance so that there is a visible pipeline of projects.

TWO

The second is to close the viability gap and provide blended finance for projects that have social and economic elements and/or to address market failures. This will ensure that Government strategically uses the limited fiscal resources to mobilise financing from the private sector, development finance institutions and multilateral development banks.
