WBG Infrastructure Prioritisation Framework (IPF): The World Bank Group developed this tool to help governments systematically prioritise infrastructure investments to achieve their development goals, taking into account capacity and public resource constraints. The Infrastructure Prioritization Framework (IPF) is a multi-criteria decision support tool that considers project outcomes along two dimensions – social-environmental and financial-economic. IPF can be used to inform the selection of projects by combining selection criteria into social-environmental and financial-economic indices and plotting the projects on a Cartesian plane.
