The National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority (NISTA) was set up in 2025 to combine the functions of the National Infrastructure Commission and the Infrastructure and Projects Authority. NISTA plays a critical role in providing oversight to the strategy and delivery of different types of infrastructure investments and the assurance of other major projects.
NISTA's international unit is its primary strategic resource for promoting and sharing UK infrastructure expertise, standards and tools internationally, and for working with industry bodies to foster the UK’s reputation and market presence overseas. As a delivery partner under the Green Cities and Infrastructure Centre of Expertise, priorities that can be supported by NISTA international expertise include:
- International training and support for capacity building, with subject matter experts within NISTA organising and delivering tailored training on the planning, delivery and financing of infrastructure programmes and projects.
- Short- to medium-term targeted technical advisory support, such as the selection of appropriate public–private partnership pilot projects, review of operational projects and development of guidance and methodologies that public authorities need to prepare and manage projects.
- Longer-term strategic support for, for example, the design of policies and regulations, the development of infrastructure investment programmes, and the enhancement of public sector capacity, including developing, training and implementing a public–private partnership delivery unit.
Through this and other support, NISTA is contributing to the efficient and effective delivery of projects for greener, more sustainable cities throughout Asia, Africa and the Caribbean.
