Background

Partnerships for Infrastructure (P4I) is an Australian Government initiative partnering with Southeast Asia to foster inclusive growth through sustainable infrastructure. P4I works with and provides services to Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Vietnam and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

The focus is on infrastructure planning and prioritisation, procurement, and policy and regulation, using either rapid or longer-term infrastructure advisory services, government partnerships, and regional learning and networking. All services include the cross-cutting priorities of gender equality and social inclusion, and disaster risk reduction and climate change.

Delivered through a single cohesive team, the initiative is led by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in collaboration with Ernst & Young, Adam Smith International, The Asia Foundation and Ninti One. P4I has a regional hub in Bangkok, with staff in Canberra and each target country location.
