The Blue Dot Network has established a secretariat at the OECD in Paris to implement standards for sustainable infrastructure in emerging and developing countries. The network aims to attract investment for high-quality projects.

The launch was attended by high-level officials such as the Secretary-General of the OECD and the US Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources. The secretariat will oversee the certification programme for infrastructure projects meeting international standards.

Infrastructure projects must adhere to criteria such as financial transparency, environmental sustainability, and inclusion to reduce financial risks and attract investors. This initiative can help close the financing gap for infrastructure in developing countries.

Quality infrastructure is crucial for sustainable economic growth and resilience to climate change in emerging nations. The Blue Dot Network was originally introduced by Australia, Japan, and the US, with other countries like the UK, Spain, and Switzerland joining the Steering Committee.
