The golden age of PPPs in Jordan: every guide in one

We have published a new guide, The Golden Age of PPPs in Jordan. It puts all 23 sector guides and all 96 organization guides into one free document of 41 pages, so you can see Jordan’s $86 billion of projects and your own place in them in one sitting.

Why we call it a golden age

A PPP, or public-private partnership, is a long contract in which a government and private companies build and run a public service together. Our starting guide explains it in everyday words. Five things have come together in Jordan at the same time, and the guide opens with them.

1. 01The projects. Jordan has about $86 billion of PPP and infrastructure projects in development, with $46 billion of them anchored in Aqaba. The guide counts 255 projects across 23 sectors.
2. 02The law. Article 15 of PPP Law No. 19 of 2023 lets any private company bring its own project idea to the Ministry of Investment or a public authority. PPP Regulation No. 9 of 2024 lets small projects below $14.1 million be grouped into one study and one tender.
3. 03The tools. AI can prepare studies, models and contracts in days. Robotics lets small teams build and maintain large assets. Tokenization lets a few hundred people fund a pilot and be paid from what it earns.
4. 04The organizations. Ministries, municipalities, banks, contractors, operators, universities and relief agencies can each start a PPP program of their own, and each has a guide written for it.
5. 05The long view. Rebuilding and running the world’s infrastructure will take about $500 trillion over the next fifty years, and Jordan’s projects are a place to start.

Part one: the sectors

Each of the 23 sectors has one page. It shows how much investment is still to come, how many projects the sector holds, its largest projects, the new industries it can create and the organization guides that belong with it. The sectors run from energy, water and transport to health, tourism and digital infrastructure. The full sector guides list every project.

Part two: the organizations

The second part covers 96 kinds of organization in nine groups, from national leadership and the public sector to banks and funds, builders, operators, technology companies and relief agencies. For each one, the guide says in a few lines what its PPP program would do. The full organization guides add the first steps for each.

How to use it

Start with the opening pages, which explain the idea and the method every guide shares. Then find your sector in part one and your kind of organization in part two. When you want more detail, open the full guide for each. If you would like us to take your team through it, you can book a presentation.

Where to get it

The guide is free. You can read about it and download it on its own page. It updates when the sector guides and the organization guides change, so the numbers stay in step with them.
