About P4I
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 April 2036, with an initial period of five years from May 2026 to April 2031.
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.
P4I is a multi-country program that also works directly with ASEAN and its secretariat. P4I works in Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. P4I will increase engagement in Timor Leste given its entry into ASEAN and retains flexibility to support activities in Indonesia (as requested by Australia’s bilateral program to Indonesia).
The P4I Program Office in Bangkok provides strategic direction and program management, with close engagement with P4I-funded locally engaged DFAT staff at Posts. A P4I Program Executive team oversights implementation, led by the delivery partner Team Leader (Executive Director) with strategic direction provided by DFAT Strategic Director and Deputy Strategic Director.
