This project supports the implementation of the ‘Peer Review and Capacity Building on APEC Infrastructure Development and Investment’ mechanism, with Chile being the fifth APEC economy to undergo this review. The objectives are to review policies and practices, including relevant laws, regulations and guidelines related to the planning, selection and implementation process of infrastructure projects, and identify capacity building needs and suggest activities based on those needs.

The review on Chile focuses on three areas: 1) resilience and emergency and disaster management related to preventing and addressing traffic accidents within public–private partnerships (PPPs); 2) technology and intelligent road management in PPPs; and 3) public direct investment in infrastructure development, specifically how infrastructures and public buildings are developed and how resilience against extreme events due to climate change is incorporated. This report presents the findings from the review and provides recommendations for capacity building based on the gaps identified.
