Purpose

This project seeks to contribute to sustainable and inclusive economic growth in Jordan through the Project Pipeline Development Facility (PPDF). This project aims to build public-private partnerships (PPP) capacity, operationalize the Government of Jordan’s new Central PPP Unit, and develop a strong pipeline of bankable PPP projects in Jordan. Structured around four significant simultaneous activities, the PPDF includes capacity building, pipeline development, pre-feasibility work, and transaction advisory. Project activities include: (1) delivering on-the-job training and workshops to Central PPP Unit staff, including on gender equality and environmental sustainability; (2) developing standard operating procedures and templates for the PPP Unit; (3) developing terms of reference for the Central PPP Unit or line ministries to procure consultants to undertake feasibility studies; and (4) providing transaction advisory services to the Government of Jordan to prepare, structure, and tender PPP projects for private sector participation.
