This handbook provides an overview of key obstacles and policy issues facing the development of Public - Private Partnerships across the Middle East and North Africa region, with a particular focus on the transport and renewable energy sectors in Egypt, Jordan, Morocco and Tunisia. It is aimed at senior officials and decision-makers in the region and intends to assist them in moving projects forward from a conceptual stage to viable transactions suitable for private-sector and/or international financial institution (IFI) investment. It is the result of research and consultations led by the ISMED Support Programme throughout 2014. Building on OECD instruments and good practices related to PPPs and infrastructure investment, as well as on extensive consultations with partner IFIs and local stakeholders, the Handbook contains recommendations to address some of the obstacles identified as inhibiting the successful completion of PPP programmes.
