From Jordan to the world: building a global network of PPP countries

Jordan PPP began with one country. It offers 76 free guides that show every kind of organization in Jordan how to launch a PPP program, built around about $86 billion of PPP and infrastructure projects, $46 billion of them anchored in Aqaba. The next chapter is a global network of countries, each with its own PPP platform run by people who live there, and all of them improving together. This post explains what that network is, why it matters, and how Jordan and Aqaba sit at its center.

What is the global network of PPP countries?

The network is a family of country platforms built on the same foundation as www.JordanPPP.com. Each platform carries guides written for the organizations of its own country, in its own language, with the name of the people who run it on every page and every guide. Each one speaks to its own ministries, municipalities, banks, developers and universities, the same audiences the Jordan guides already serve.

What ties the platforms together is that they share one engine. When a guide, a chapter or a tool improves on the Jordan site, every country in the network receives the improvement. A lesson learned in one place becomes available everywhere, so no country has to start from zero.

Why build PPPs as a network of countries?

Public-private partnerships are learned by doing. The small PPPs approach on this site argues that many small projects run in parallel teach a country faster than a few large ones, because every project returns lessons on contracts, procurement, finance and operations. A network applies the same idea across borders. Many countries running many small PPPs at the same time produce far more lessons than any single country could alone.

The scale of the task also calls for a network. The vision on this site describes a century of infrastructure that needs rebuilding and the $500 trillion it will take. No single government, company or country can carry that alone. A network lets governments and their people share what works, compare approaches and move together.

PPP is about building relationships between governments and their people, and a network lets those relationships grow across every border.

How does a country join the network?

A country joins when someone who lives there chooses to launch its platform. That person, or their organization, becomes the local home for PPP knowledge in that country. They adapt the guides to local institutions and laws, publish in the language people read, and bring together the public and private organizations that will build the first projects.

1. 01Choose the country. Anyone can sign up on the Jordan PPP homepage for the country where they would like to launch a PPP.
2. 02Make it local. The guides are adapted to the country’s ministries, municipalities, banks, developers and universities.
3. 03Stay connected. Every improvement made on www.JordanPPP.com reaches the country platform, so it keeps getting better.
4. 04Build the first projects. The local team helps organizations start small PPPs and share what they learn with the network.

What does Jordan bring to the network?

Jordan brings a working legal base and a real pipeline. PPP Law No. 19 of 2023 sets the framework, and Article 15 lets any private company propose its own PPP, as the page on unsolicited proposals explains. PPP Regulation No. 9 of 2024 defines small-scale PPPs, which makes it practical to start with many modest projects instead of waiting for a few large ones.

Aqaba brings the first base. As Jordan’s only port and its gateway to the Red Sea, Aqaba anchors about $46 billion of the country’s pipeline in ports and logistics, energy, water, tourism and the utilities of economic zones. The Aqaba guidePDF shows how organizations there can launch their own PPP programs, and those lessons travel to every country in the network.

Who runs PPPs in each country?

Each country platform is run by people who know their own country: young graduates with ambition, advisers, developers and leaders who want PPPs to work at home. The Jordan guides already show what each kind of organization can do. MinistriesPDF can set up PPP programs of their own, municipalitiesPDF can start with local services, and PPP developersPDF can bring projects forward with their own capital and expertise. The same roles exist in every country, and the network connects the people who fill them.

This is how the network grows: one country at a time, one person at a time, with each new platform adding its own projects, guides and lessons to the whole.

How do AI, robotics and tokenization connect the network?

The guides on this site describe how artificial intelligence helps design, structure and run PPP projects, how robotics builds infrastructure and keeps it running, and how tokenization can fund projects from their own revenue. These technologies are global by nature. A model trained on projects in one country can help a project in another, and a robot that maintains a road in one city can do the same elsewhere. A network of countries lets these tools spread as fast as they improve.

That is why the network is built around futureproofing. Countries that start learning by building now, with small PPPs of their own, will be ready when these technologies converge.

How can organizations in Jordan and Aqaba take part today?

Organizations in Jordan can start now. Read what a PPP is, choose your organization on the guides page and download the free guide written for it. Organizations in Aqaba can begin with the opportunities around the port and the economic zone, and every project they start adds to what the network learns.

For people outside Jordan, the homepage of www.JordanPPP.com has a short sign-up form. Choose the country where you would like to launch a PPP, and the network will reach you as it opens. To talk about a country, a partnership or a first project, use the contact page.
