Specific guidelines were introduced for the first time for the development and procurement of PPP projects. The guidelines were designed to streamline arrangements for processing and approvals. The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs was given the responsibility for providing initial and final approval on PPP projects, and the PPP Authority was given the responsibility to ensure that the regulatory framework was being duly followed by the Line Ministries and Agencies in developing their projects.
Policies and guidelines were also developed and gazetted for the application of the Public Private Partnership Technical Assistance Financing and Viability Gap Financing. A number of additional supporting documents were also created including the PPP Screening Manual, PPP Project Proposal Form, PPP Technical Assistance Financing Form, Procurement Guidelines for PPP Projects, Guidelines for Unsolicited Proposals and the Bangladesh Public Private Partnerships Act.
