The government’s objective is to deliver priority public projects valued at around RO 2.5 billion by 2020 through Public Private Partnerships. PPP projects, according to ISFU, are long-term contracts between a private sector partner and a government entity and can be used to develop various developmental projects based on shared responsibilities and risks. Also playing a key role in driving forward the PPP initiative is the Supreme Council for Planning.
