MANILA, Philippines - The Association of Development Financing Institutions in Asia & the Pacific (ADFIAP), under the guidance of the Infrastructure Finance Corp. Ltd. (IFCL), is assisting in the build-up of a Development Finance Institution (DFI) network database for the National Infrastructure Information Systems (NIIS), a web-based information platform developed with support from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Republic of Korea through the ADB’s Regional Technical Assistance 7379: “Establishment of e-Systems to Support Infrastructure Financing in Asia.” NIIS facilitates information gathering, reporting and exchange in three platforms, which are: (1) Open Site, a publicly-accessible website that provides overall information and news feed on infrastructure projects; (2) Knowledge Hub, a moderated social network platform for NIIS users to communicate to each other, and access resources and news on infrastructure development; and, (3) Project Platform, a unique web-accessible relational database application which allows users to create and manage complex data and documents regarding infrastructure and climate projects.
