Program Background

Partnerships for Infrastructure (P4I) Phase 2 is an Australian Government initiative to support quality infrastructure development that drives inclusive growth in Southeast Asia. P4I-2 is a 10-year initiative to December 2035, with an initial period of five years from January 2026 to December 2030. P4I works with partners to strengthen policy and regulatory frameworks related to infrastructure development. It also addresses obstacles to project development, including through advice on financing strategies (with an emphasis on mobilising private finance). P4I works closely with Australian Government and industry to help bring relevant solutions to Southeast Asia’s infrastructure development challenges, in line with Australia's Southeast Asia Economic Strategy to 2040. P4I currently works in four sectors: land transport resilience, maritime decarbonisation, integration of renewables into energy systems, and telecommunications. P4I incorporates inclusion (gender equality, disability and social inclusion) and climate (mitigation and adaptation) across these four sectors.  

More information about P4I is available at www.partnershipsforinfrastructure.org

o   Review resourcing arrangements for proposed P4I engagements to ensure that appropriate skills and experience are being deployed through portfolio delivery contracts. 

·        Develop relationships with and, in close collaboration with the Partnerships Director, facilitate engagement with Australian Government and industry stakeholders to engage them in supporting P4I’s climate agenda in the portfolio. 

·        Coordinate quality assurance of technical delivery work, either though playing a direct quality assurance function or engaging other specialists to ensure that advice provided through P4I engagement is in line with P4I strategy and standards. 

·        Monitor and provide advice on infrastructure and climate adaptation and mitigation policy and practice trends relevant to P4I’s scope, including developments in Southeast Asia and Australia.  

·        Working closely with the M&E Director to ensure P4I is collecting relevant data to track performance and achievements and meet DFAT’s data requirements.
