Our objective has always been to help develop better infrastructure projects. SOURCE provides a comprehensive guide to all relevant aspects of project preparation and disseminates global principles, standards and good practices in a practical, digestible format, it facilitates coordination among project stakeholders, and creates a common language between public sponsors and private investors.
However, a software can only go so far and good project preparation requires first and foremost a good project team. We do recognize the key role project preparation facilities (PPFs) and technical/transaction advisors play in the good delivery of complex projects, and we are very excited to launch the PPF Finder on SOURCE.

In 2020, SIF also aligned the Stage 1 (Definition) of SOURCE project preparation templates with the harmonised application form prepared by The Cities Climate Finance Leadership Alliance and used by the City Climate Finance Gap Fund. Therefore, preparing a project in SOURCE allows cities to understand the relevant information being sought for project support; reduce the amount of time cities spend in preparing application packages; create a streamlined approach to project application; facilitate the application process and pave the way for data sharing between PPFs.
