This case study explores the implementation of the Capacity Assessment Tool for Infrastructure (CAT-I) in Ghana's infrastructure systems. CAT-I is a tool designed to help governments identify the main challenges within their enabling environment that inhibit their ability to deliver sustainable, resilient, and inclusive infrastructure projects throughout their lifecycle.

Ghana is a country that depends heavily on climate-sensitive sectors such as agriculture and infrastructure, including industry and services. As such, Ghana developed "The Roadmap for Resilient Infrastructure in a Changing Climate" initiative to identify its infrastructure adaptation needs —and how they can be met— in the energy, water, and transport sectors.

CAT-I was used to assess the enabling environment and gather evidence on the challenges and needs to plan, deliver, operate and maintain infrastructure systems in Ghana that are sustainable, climate-resilient, and inclusive. Implementing CAT-I led to identifying 12 adaptation options within the energy, water, and transportation sectors.
