In 2014, as part of the work to support Beyond Aid implementation, The Portland Trust created a multi- stakeholder discussion to progress the creation of a national PPP strategy with The World Bank, Department for International Development, International Finance Corporation (IFC), Office of the Quartet Representative and the PNA’s Deputy Prime Minister’s Office (DPMO) with a view to enabling the development of major infrastructure. The DPMO issued a letter of request to the World Bank Group to assist in the development of a PPP strategy for Palestine including the development of the necessary legal and regulatory framework and identification of a PPP project pipeline. To assist the work of the IFC, The Portland Trust prepared a diagnostic report from the private sector including a summary of past PPP’s, lessons learnt, the current pipeline of PPP style projects and level of private sector interest in investing in such infrastructure projects.
