has led to traffic congestion, pollution, and other urban issues. The objective is to enhance the rate of deployment of sustainable urbanisation strategies, particularly in the growing middleweight cities in ASEAN. To measure progress against this ambition, it would be essential to work on sustainability measures for a range of cities across ASEAN. Initiatives to Achieve Strategic Objectives Initiative 1: Establish a Rolling Priority Pipeline List of Potential ASEAN Infrastructure Projects and Sources of Funds. 11. The ASEAN Community Blueprints 2025 and the ASEAN Strategic Transport Plan 2016-2025 have called for the publishing of an ASEAN database of sustainable transport initiatives. Whilst there are some organisations like Project Finance International (PFI) and IJGlobal that have data on infrastructure projects in the region, this information only covers later-stage projects that have gone through full project preparation (and so does not include projects in an early stage of development). 12. The aim of this initiative is to address both the information issues and the capability gaps associated with developing a strong infrastructure pipeline in ASEAN Member States. The first step in the process is to establish criteria for selection on whether an infrastructure project has regional relevance for ASEAN. This could relate to the importance of the project in supporting cross-border trade and people movements, for example. This analysis could incorporate the work, where relevant, undertaken in the ASEAN PPP Program and the Comprehensive Asia Development Plan (CADP) 2.0 by the World Bank and the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA), respectively. 13. A standardised template will be used to gather information on these projects, with support for ASEAN Member States to help them complete this informationgathering process. The information to be collected via the standardised template could draw on the existing information in the templates developed by the International Infrastructure Support System (IISS). The full set of projects could then be included in a publicly available online database to allow easy access to investors and other stakeholders. The Global Infrastructure Hub (GIH) is currently developing a global list of infrastructure projects and there is the opportunity for ASEAN to build on this work by using common classification systems. 14. Once identified, a feasibility study (including cost-benefit analysis) will be conducted to understand the opportunity for financing, including private sector participation. Capability building and technical support will be necessary to help ASEAN Member States conduct this analysis. These short-listed projects 46 MASTER PLAN ON ASEAN CONNECTIVITY 2025
