PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Increased foreign and domestic private investment is a policy priority of the Government of Mongolia (GoM). To this end, in early 2021 the GoM developed a list of 100 projects encompassing multiple sectors that it expects to be implemented predominantly through private investment and PPP modalities in particular. An important initial step will be to identify the first batch of projects that have a high likelihood of success in being delivered as PPPs. This will require a project screening process utilising a set of criteria to be discussed and agreed with National Development Agency (NDA), Ministry of Finance and other relevant agencies. The ADB’s Office of Public Private Partnerships (OPPP) is supporting the NDA in identifying projects suitable for implementation under the PPP framework.
SERVICES PROVIDED BY STRATEGY & ECONOMICS
Three main tasks: S&E’s supported the OPPP in developing and finalising a PPP screening tool and then applying the tool to the list of 100 projects to shortlist 5-10 potential PPP investments. The work also entailed identifying challenges to effective private sector participation and developing strategies to mitigate or overcome such barriers.
