It does so by offering a careful and systematic approach to estimating the funding needs to close the service gaps in water and sanitation, transportation, electricity, irrigation, and flood protection. Exploring thousands of scenarios, this report finds that funding needs depend on the service goals and policy choices of low- and middle-income countries and could range anywhere from 2 percent to 8 percent of GDP per year by 2030.Beyond the Gap also identifies a policy mix that will enable countries to achieve key international goals-universal access to water, sanitation, and electricity; greater mobility; improved food security; better protection from floods; and eventual full decarbonization-while limiting spending on new infrastructure to 4.5 percent of GDP per year. Importantly, the exploration of thousands of scenarios shows that infrastructure investment paths compatible with full decarbonization in the second half of the century need not cost more than more-polluting alternatives. Investment needs remain at 2 percent to 8 percent of GDP even when only the decarbonized scenarios are examined. The actual amount depends on the quality and quantity of services targeted, the timing of investments, construction costs, and complementary policies.Finally, investing in infrastructure is not enough; maintaining it also matters. Improving services requires much more than capital expenditure. Ensuring a steady flow of resources for operations and maintenance is a necessary condition for success. Good maintenance also generates substantial savings by reducing the total life-cycle cost of transport and water and sanitation infrastructure by more than 50 percent. 410 0$aWorld Bank e-Library. 606 $aInfrastructure (Economics)$zDeveloping countries 606 $aSustainable development$xCost effectiveness 607 $aDeveloping countries$2fast 615 0$aInfrastructure (Economics) 615 0$aSustainable development$xCost effectiveness. 676 $a338.90091724 700 $aRozenberg$b Julie$01803775 702 $aRoxenberg$b Julie 702 $aFay$b Marianne 801 0$bDJBF 801 1$bDJBF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970259803321 996 $aBeyond the Gap$94351461 997 $aUNINA
