CoST is now established as the leading global initiative aimed at improving transparency and accountability of investment of public infrastructure, with fifteen countries currently committed to its implementation and a growing track record of achievement. This progress was recognised recently by the Open Government Partnership (OGP) when CoST became the only international initiative to be recognised twice in its Open Government Awards 2016.

This Business Plan builds on the recommendations of a recently completed strategic review by translating them into a series of ambitious objectives and by providing a realistic plan to deliver them. It is aimed at partners who are interested in supporting our efforts and scaling-up the impact of our work.

This Business Plan is structured around two strategic goals:  (1) Building our global footprint to make transparency and accountability in public infrastructure the norm and (2) Strengthening on the ground implementation to help maximise our impact.
