What this guide is for
Your organization launches a PPP program that turns Jerash’s heritage, tourism, farms, forest and towns into public-private partnerships (PPPs) it can prepare, bid for, build, finance or operate, starting with the governorate it already works in.
The case
Jerash’s organizations can build the place they work in
Jerash has welcomed visitors to the Roman city of Gerasa for generations, and most of the governorate’s organizations have watched its larger projects from the outside. The projects of the next fifty years will be prepared, built and run by many organizations at once, and the ones that start their own programs now will own a share of the governorate they work in. This guide invites organizations in Jerash to launch a PPP program, starting with the projects at home.
The guide
Bring Jerash into the $500 trillion PPP infrastructure opportunity
Your organization opens a dedicated PPP program, a team and a set of offers that take part in Jerash’s heritage, tourism, water, energy, farming, transport and urban projects, starting with its place in Jordan’s $86 billion of projects.
01
A Jerash PPP team
A dedicated team that knows how PPPs are prepared, procured and financed follows every project in Jerash from the first market sounding and decides early where the organization can prepare, bid, build, finance or operate.
02
A place in the governorate’s consortia
Municipalities, hotels, tour operators, olive farms and presses, contractors and local investors join the consortia that bid for Jerash’s projects, bringing the land, the operating knowledge and the local workforce that international partners need.
03
Projects around the Roman city
Visitor services at Gerasa, the festival, the olive groves, the Dibbeen forest and the Amman to Irbid road all depend on water, power and transport. An organization that understands those links can shape projects that serve several of them at once.
04
Jerash-led direct proposals
Jordan’s PPP Law No. 19 of 2023 accepts direct private proposals under Article 15. An organization in Jerash can design a project around a need it sees every day, such as a visitor center, an olive oil cold chain, a municipal solar plant or a festival shuttle, and propose it with partners who finance and build it.
05
Pilots as small-scale PPPs
PPP Regulation No. 9 of 2024 defines small-scale PPPs below $14.1 million, which can be bundled into one feasibility report and one tender. A small concession in Jerash gives the organization a live asset, a reference and a place in the larger projects that follow.
Why organizations in Jerash
Jerash’s organizations can build the place they work in
Jerash holds Gerasa, one of the best-preserved Roman cities in the world, an annual festival, olive groves and the Dibbeen forest. Each new project depends on the organizations already working there, and each one can make them partners in what is built.
Where organizations in Jerash fit in a PPP
- Preparation
- Local data, land and needs that shape projects the governorate can use and investors can finance.
- Tender
- Places in consortia beside international developers, contractors and operators.
- Financial close
- Equity, land contributions and local investors beside the banks and funds.
- Operation
- Operators, service firms and a workforce that run the asset in Jerash for decades.
- Exit
- Stakes that local and regional investors can buy, including tokenized notes.
One governorate, many linked projects
The Roman city and its visitor services, the festival, the hotels and restaurants, the olive farms and presses, the Dibbeen forest, water and power networks and the road between Amman and Irbid all sit close to each other in Jerash. A project in one of them changes the demand for the others, which gives organizations that see the whole governorate an advantage in shaping the next one.
Why a program, and why now
The consortia for Jordan’s next projects are forming now. A program gives an organization in Jerash a team, a pipeline and the partners to act on it, and the organizations that join the first projects will help set the standards the rest of the governorate follows.
Futureproofing
Futureproof Organizations in Jerash for the infrastructure singularity
This free 17-page guide shows how, with small PPPs in parallel, PPP research labs, artificial intelligence, robotics, tokenization and six first steps.
Jordan and Aqaba
An $86 billion pipeline to start with
The projects that reach Jerash will need local partners to prepare, build and run them. An organization that delivers one PPP in Jerash can carry the same team to Aqaba and to the next project across Jordan.
- $86B
- of PPP and infrastructure projects in development in Jordan
- $46B
- of them anchored in Aqaba
Artificial intelligence
AI fits Jerash’s visitor and farm systems first. It can forecast visitor flows at the Roman city and the festival, plan traffic between Amman and Irbid, manage water for the olive groves and watch the Dibbeen forest for fire. An organization in Jerash can bring those tools into every concession it joins and use the same data to find the next project worth proposing.
Robotics
Heritage sites, farms and forests are where robots can help Jerash first. Drones and scanning robots can map and monitor the ruins of Gerasa, help harvest and press the olive crop and patrol the Dibbeen forest, and the organizations that run them will need Jordanian technicians trained in Jerash to operate and maintain them.
Tokenization
Tokenization lets the people and companies of Jerash own a share of the projects around them. An organization can offer tokenized stakes in a heritage hotel, an olive oil press or a solar plant to local and regional investors, pay them from the asset’s own revenue and keep the governorate’s savings working at home.
Small PPPs and research labs
Jerash is small enough to test a new idea quickly and visited enough to prove it. An organization in Jerash can host a PPP research lab, run pilots on its own land and assets and publish every result, so the pilots that work in Jerash become the models for the rest of Jordan.
Unsolicited proposals
A direct proposal lets an organization in Jerash bring a project built around a need it knows better than anyone, from a visitor service at the Roman city to a cold store for olive farmers. It can propose the project as its own, protect the ideas behind it and keep the right to match the best offer at tender.
The program
How the program could work
The program can sit inside the organization’s strategy or business development team, with a PPP lead at its center and offers built from what the organization already owns and runs in Jerash.
- PPP team
- A small team of business, technical, legal and finance people that covers every PPP in Jerash from the first market sounding.
- Pipeline
- A map of Jerash’s projects by sector and stage, and the ones that fit the organization’s land, assets and skills.
- Consortia
- Partnerships with developers, contractors, operators and banks bidding for Jerash’s projects.
- Local supply
- Services, staff, land and equipment the organization can offer every concession in the governorate.
- Direct proposals
- Projects proposed under Article 15 around needs the organization sees in Jerash every day.
- Pilots
- Small-scale PPPs below $14.1 million that build a track record on live assets in Jerash.
- Partners
- Agreements with the governorate’s public bodies, municipalities, tourism firms, investors and other organizations in Jerash.
What the organization gains
The organization gains contracts and revenue that last as long as the concessions it joins, a bigger role in the governorate it already works in and a reference it can carry to every other project in Jordan.
It also gains a voice in how Jerash grows. The organizations that help prepare, build and run the governorate’s first AI, robotics and tokenized PPPs will shape its heritage, its farms and its towns for the next fifty years.
