The problem\r\n\r\nThe CoST IDS asks for projects to be classified by **sector** and **sub-sector**. Guidance suggests these lists should be developed on a national basis:\r\n\r\n> Develop a list of sectors relevant to country e.g. housing, transport, energy, water etc.\r\n\r\nand\r\n\r\n> Develop a subset for each sector e.g. Transport could be subdivided into national highway, local road, railway, port, airport etc.\r\n\r\nrespectively. \r\n\r\nHowever, in draft work, the CoST team have suggested use of a sector list from the [PPP Certification guide](https://ppp-certification.com/ppp-certification-guide/4-where-ppps-are-used-%E2%80%93-infrastructure-sectors). This has been identified as providing good coverage of sectors that infrastructure transparency programmes may wish to describe, but it lacks established codes, or commitments to code list management. \r\n\r\nIn OCDS for PPPs we recommend classification using UN COFOG (Classifications of the Functions of Government) which has the advantage of established codelist management, and being widely used for production of statistics. \r\n\r\nAt present, our guidance in the Project Level Data Specification reads:\r\n\r\n> The main sector this project relates to. CoST guidance suggests that countries should develop a list of sectors and sub-sectors relevant to the country. When these codelists are organised hierarchically, it should be possibly to classify at the sub-sector level, but then infer the top-level sector from this. In the absence of an appropriate national list, either (a) use of UN COFOG codes, with ‘COFOG’ as the classification scheme, and the numerical COFOG code used; or (b) use of the sector list from the PPP Certification guide with ‘PPPCERT’ as the classification scheme, is recommended. It should be\r\n\r\n## Options for discussion\r\n\r\n* We could maintain the current guidance that gives a range of options on how to represent sector classification\r\n* We could narrow our recommendation to use of UN COFOG only\r\n* We could fork a copy of PPPCERT and maintain this a codelist with codes and labels\r\n\r\nDiscussion of this may require infrastructure analysis experts to review and compare PPCERT and UNCOFOG.
