Proceedings of the 14th Meeting of the
Transport and Communications Working Group
12
countries show a number of initiatives comprised between 1 and 4 and 22 does not appear
to have transport PPPs implemented. The selection of the case studies concentrated on the
14 countries registering 5 or more PPP projects. Further to the total number of PPPs
implemented in the transport sector their distribution by transport mode was also
considered in the selection of the case studies. The combined application of these two criteria
to the sample of 14 OIC Member Countries with 5 or more PPP projects lead to the selection
of the following countries for case study analysis: Côte d'Ivoire and Mozambique (African
Group), Algeria and Jordan (Arab Group), Malaysia and Turkey (Asian Group).
 In three out of the six selected case studies – i.e. Côte d'Ivoire, Jordan, and Turkey – country
visits have been organized between July and August 2019, which allowed the consultation of
a number of public institutions, as well as private entities and international agencies involved
in the preparation, implementation, management and operation of PPP projects. Further to
face-to-face interviews during the country visits, phone interviews have been also organized
with public entities in Malaysia. The consultation of the PPP project stakeholders in the OIC
Member Countries complemented the review of publicly available plans and laws in the
investigated countries. Research literature was also consulted providing the view of
professional and academic experts on the risk management practices applied to PPP projects
in the transport sector in the six identified countries.
 The analysis performed as part of the six case studies was conducted in line with the
conceptual framework for risk management of transport PPP projects and a set of guiding
questions provided by COMCEC in the Terms of Reference of the study. The research focused
on those PPPs including construction and/or rehabilitation works only, thus excluding those
PPPs mainly related to operation and maintenance of existing assets and services.
Results from the case study analyses
Mr. ZANI continued his presentation with the description of the main findings and challenges
from the three case studies subject of country visit. Further to a brief overview of the transport
PPPs implemented in the countries, a description of the main findings and challenges was given,
referring to the six main elements of the conceptual framework: strategy and policy [1], pre-
tendering decision process [2], procurement and contracting [3], construction and operation [4-
5], end of contract (follow up) [6].
