The new Jordan PPP guides: 121 free guides, rebuilt from cover to cover

The new Jordan PPP guides are 121 free guides to launching a PPP program in Jordan and Aqaba, all rebuilt in one new design. Each of the 96 organization guides now runs 33 pages in seven parts, each of the 23 sectors has a full guide of its own, and every guide has its own cover. All of them are free to read and download on the guides page.

A PPP, or public-private partnership, is a long contract to build and run a public service, such as a road, a water plant or a school, with a private partner who is paid for doing it well. The guides explain how an organization in Jordan can start a PPP program of its own, one kind of organization at a time.

What is new in the Jordan PPP guides?

Every guide for Jordan and Aqaba has been rebuilt from cover to cover. The organization guides grew to 33 pages, and their chapters now run in a new order. Each guide has its own cover picture with a large title, and the pictures inside are illustrations in the stained-glass style of this website.

The new order helps a reader who is starting from zero. A guide opens with what a PPP is, turns to the reader’s own organization, and then moves on to the machines, the software and the future they lead to. A page on the website and a chapter in the guide now tell the same story in the same order, so each one explains the other.

How many guides are there, and who are they for?

There are 121 guides for Jordan and Aqaba. Most of them, 96, are organization guides, each written for one kind of organization, from ministries and municipalities to banks and contractors. Another 23 are sector guides. The last two are starting guides: What Is a PPP? and The Golden Age of PPPs in Jordan.

The organization guides fall into nine categories: national leadership, the public sector, capital, developers and builders, operators and services, technology and knowledge, advisors and professional bodies, economic sectors, and humanitarian and relief. A bank reads the guide for banksDownload the guide. A city hall reads the guide for municipalitiesDownload the guide. A building company reads the guide for contractorsDownload the guide. The city of AqabaDownload the guide has a guide of its own, and so does every other governorate of Jordan.

What is inside each organization guide?

Each organization guide for Jordan runs 33 pages, in seven parts and 24 chapters. The seven parts are PPP, the guide, hardware, software, the singularity, about Jordan PPP, and a list of all the guides. The same seven parts appear in every one of the 96 organization guides.

1. 01PPP explains what a PPP is and covers the golden age of PPPs in Jordan, the PPP pyramid of nine sizes from $10,000 to $1 trillion, small PPPs run side by side, a PPP research lab in each sector and unsolicited proposals, which let a private company bring its own project to the government.
2. 02The guide sets out the PPP program your organization launches, why your kind of organization is the one to move first, how the program could work, and six steps to launch it, ending with a first pilot.
3. 03Hardware describes the $500 trillion computer, which is the world’s roads, grids, pipes, ports and data centers working as one machine, and the robotics that build it and keep it running.
4. 04Software introduces EarthOS, the software that runs the machine, with artificial intelligence to design and run projects and tokenization to fund them from their own revenue.
5. 05Singularity explains the infrastructure singularity, the moment artificial intelligence, robotics and tokenization come together, with the $500 trillion opportunity, the road to it in five stages, and how to futureproof your organization.
6. 06About Jordan PPP gives our mission and introduces the founder who wrote the guides.
7. 07All guides lists every organization guide and every sector guide in one place.

The second part is written for the reader’s own kind of organization, so the guide for hospitals reads differently from the guide for law firms. The chapters on robotics, artificial intelligence, tokenization and futureproofing also say what each change means for that organization. The opening part on PPPs is the same in every guide, which gives a bank, a ministry and a contractor in Jordan the same starting point when they talk about one project.

Build the most advanced PPP system in the world.

What do the sector guides cover?

The 23 sector guides cover Jordan’s $86 billion of PPP and infrastructure projects in development, $46 billion of them anchored in Aqaba. Each guide takes one sector, such as water, transport or solar power, and sets out its projects, its link to the infrastructure singularity and the ways a partner can take part.

A sector guide runs 39 to 42 pages. The guide for water sits beside the guides for transport and solar power, and a reader in Aqaba can start with the guide for ports and logistics. Each organization guide also points to the sectors closest to that organization, so a reader can move from one kind of guide to the other.

Which guide should you read first?

A reader in Jordan who is new to PPPs can start with What Is a PPP?, a starting guide of 39 pages in plain words. The Golden Age of PPPs in Jordan comes next. It puts all 23 sector guides and all 96 organization guides into one free document of 61 pages.

Two summaries serve readers who want the short version. The summary of the organization guides runs 38 pages, and the summary of the sector guides runs 52 pages. After that, read the guide for your own kind of organization, because it sets out the program you could launch and the first six steps to take.
