1. Consensus Vision is the ability of the government or political system to build, and then consistently project a consensus vision for the future of a country s infrastructure including the ability to connect that vision to long-term economic success. 2. Public Sector Technical Capacity is defined as the ability and skills that public sector officials possess for assessing projects in terms of design, engineering, finance, performance and bid structuring. Also involved in this criterion is the organization of the public sector, including technical capacity across relevant agencies, and the capacity for facilitating private sector involvement in infrastructure project finance, development and/or operation. 3. Public Sector Strategic Capacity is defined as the ability (and willingness) of public sector decision-makers to push through obstacles to get projects done. This is differentiated from the question above in that there is a significant distinction between technical capacity and moving outside the lines - when necessary - to get things done. 4. Great Projects describes a country's confidence in creating transformative projects that stretch a country s capabilities, redefining productivity and competitiveness. These are the imaginative projects that define a country, and its image of itself in the world. These projects push the envelope.
5. Leadership is the capacity of political leaders to identify and address potential roadblocks, including the management of the politics and finances necessary to complete projects, before these become roadblocks affecting project schedule and budget. 6. Long-Term Project Performance describes the financial and physical performance of infrastructure projects through their life cycles. This goes to reputation - and whether a country, or a state, is seen as a good place to expend expertise, resources and money. 7. Local Engineering, Procurement and Construction firms (EPC) - describes the quality of local EPC firms, given that infrastructure is a local business, and domestic firms are critical to the design, cost and performance of infrastructure investments. 8. Local Equity capacity describes the availability, appetite, capacity and overall role that local investors, including pension funds, play in the development and financing of infrastructure projects.
