The Roadmap lays out the various stages of planning and preparing for a large-scale investment (stages 1 & 2), negotiating the main investment contracts (stage 3) and monitoring and managing the implementation of the investment (stage 4).

While much emphasis is placed on the actual contract negotiation process, the success and sustainability of an investment also depends on the right policies and legal and regulatory framework being in place to govern the investment and ensure it aligns with a country’s national development strategies, and the careful monitoring of the implementation of the investment project.

Each stage of the Roadmap links to key tools and resources as well as to the support providers that can provide assistance in relation to that stage.
