basic concepts of the study and describe the general situation in the OIC Member Countries, also
supporting the selection of six OIC Member Countries to be subject of case study analysis.
In consideration of the wide spectrum of applicability of PPP to public utilities, including
transport infrastructure and services, and in order to make the study more useful to the OIC
Member Countries, the scope of the study is also focused on those initiatives that involve
the private sector at least in the financing and implementation of rehabilitation works or
new investments in transport infrastructure, thus excluding the forms of PPP merely related
to operation of services or ordinary maintenance of infrastructure and roiling stock by private
companies; or the merely procurement of works by the public sector, without involvement of
private financing; as well as financial operations involving the private sector, but excluding
works implementation of new investments.
