AB  - The Amazon region faces challenges in achieving effective access to infrastructure services. While investments have been made to expand transport, electricity, water and sanitation, and digital connectivity infrastructure, progress remains uneven. This report documents the state of infrastructure in Amazonia, the environmental implications of delivering infrastructure services in the region, and the governance challenges. The report also presents decentralized and context-based solutions like solar mini-grids, electrified river transport, and water cistern programs, that offer cost-effective, resilient, and environmentally sustainable solutions for the region. Drawing on case studies, academic research, and other initiatives the report argues that improving institutional capacity, strengthening cross-border coordination, and promoting innovative, context-specific solutions are essential to increasing access to infrastructure services in Amazonia.
