Project name:Global Methodology for Infrastructure Resilience Review: Roadmap for Infrastructure Resilience in Chile

Chile’s Infrastructure Resilience Review assessed six critical sectors—water, energy, transportation, telecommunications, health, and education.

The process engaged government stakeholders across key ministries, including public works (MOP), transport and telecommunications (MTT), energy (MINEN), education (MINEDUC), health (MINSAL), social development (MIDESO), housing and urban planning (MINVU), international relations (MINREL), finance, defence, and environment (MMA).

This broad participation ensured a comprehensive evaluation, fostering collaboration to enhance national infrastructure resilience against future risks.
