Integrated approach for comprehensive solutions

Commonwealth Infrastructure Partners (CIP) provides integrated solutions for the complex challenges facing infrastructure development everywhere.

The spectrum of infrastructure challenges

  • The more developed nations often have saturated but outdated infrastructure, creating challenges of modernisation
  • Rapidly developing emerging economies, especially the larger countries, face very substantial financial, technical and physical challenges to create the new infrastructure necessary to sustain economic development and improvements in the quality of life across the nation
  • The least-developed nations have multi-faceted challenges of building infrastructure, developing implementation capability and skills, and attracting foreign investment to stimulate the economic growth that will fuel future development

Integrated solutions

  • Input from sector specialists
  • Advanced capacity building
  • Comprehensive skills development
  • Training in international best practice
  • Access to international expertise
  • Integration of public and private sectors

Our Team

CIP's founding directors are Dr Geoffrey Clements and Jonathan Ling.
