SIT About Us

SustainABLE is a suite of tools that have been developed by UNOPS and Partners in an effort to improve the way that infrastructure systems are planned, delivered, and managed to ensure sustainable, resilient and inclusive outcomes that support the achievement of global agendas. 

SustainABLE encompasses three tools that are designed to comprehensively support Users to identify and address challenges in the infrastructure enabling environment, financing opportunities for infrastructure projects and the actions required to embed sustainability, resilience and inclusion into infrastructure projects. The three include tools:

1. EnABLE: Provides an assessment of the infrastructure enabling environment in a country or region, identifying challenges, needs and opportunities to better plan, deliver and manage infrastructure systems; 
2. ActionABLE: Generates an action resource kit for the Users to assist them in the planning, delivery and management of infrastructure projects. The Kit provides a collection of Actions, information, resources, guidance and case studies that are suitable to the stage of the project as specified by the User.
3. FundABLE: Streamlines investor identification for governments to facilitate access to financing for infrastructure projects;

SustainABLE is intended to support UN Member States' and other stakeholders' implementation of the UN Environment Assembly Resolution on Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure (UNEP/EA.5/Res.9). This encourages integration of the International Good Practice Principles for Sustainable Infrastructure through the use and development of sustainable infrastructure tools.

The SustainABLE suite of tools has been developed in collaboration wtih a number of partners. For more information please see the partnering page.
