Along the different steps, the PPP unit can also act as an interface between the contracting body
and international organizations and IFIs. It is not responsible, however, for investment
attraction. While capacity-building should also be performed by the PPP unit for other
government authorities, no evidence of such activities has been found for stakeholders of
transport PPP projects. The PPP unit is in place since 2014 and its tasks are enumerated by the
PPP law. It is currently relatively small, with eight staff members and a technical advisor,
provided by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Its structure is
illustrated in the Figure below.
