WAPPP is proud to unveil its 2026 global theme: National Infrastructure Financing Institutions (NIFIs).
Over the past two years, WAPPP explored what enables inclusive infrastructure delivery: Small-Scale PPPs (2024) and Blended Finance (2025). In 2026, we turn to how these ideas are implemented at scale.
Across regions, governments are creating National Infrastructure Financing Institutions (NIFIs)—development banks, infrastructure funds, and hybrid vehicles—designed to mobilize long-term capital, de-risk infrastructure pipelines, and strengthen local participation in infrastructure finance and delivery.
Through a seven-part webinar series and a flagship publication, WAPPP will examine why these institutions matter, how they are designed, and how they work in practice.
We invite policymakers, practitioners, and partners to follow WAPPP and engage with our 2026 programme on NIFIs. Follow WAPPP to stay updated on the 2026 webinar series, upcoming insights, and the flagship publication.
