Investment framework

The Executive has developed a framework to support the planning and delivery of the infrastructure programme over the next ten years that is consistent with the Programme for Government. Future investment will be taken forward under six ‘pillars’ that help to join up the plans of government departments and other stakeholders to avoid duplication and recognise opportunities to maximise outcomes by working together.  The framework also challenges departments to think about the outcomes that investment will deliver – to ensure that the choices they make are aligned to delivering our priorities for the economy, society and the environment.
