About

SNTA grants improve the knowledge and skills of government officials in areas such as governance, financial management, planning, project preparation skills, and human resources. As a result, many SNTA clients developed capacity in critical areas for infrastructure development, for example:

  • Instituting robust regulatory frameworks
  • Designing bankable capital investment plans
  • Creating financial reporting systems
  • Determining predictable long-term cash flows

With these skills and capabilities, sub-national entities are well-positioned to attract financing and work with the private sector to deliver infrastructure. SNTA is primarliy funded by the Dutch Government.
