Project Preparation and Feasibility Guidelines for PPP Projects in Pakistan
These guidelines apply to projects that fall within the ambit of PPP and are potentially commercially viable under the PPP modality. Projects that the private sector can do on its own without any need for government support/assistance or those which can be privatized are not the focus of these guidelines.
Project feasibility guidelines set out a simple methodology by which implementing agencies/institutions will be able to: Carry out an initial exclusionary screening of projects to select projects suitable for development as PPPs; carry out a preliminary feasibility study to further develop the project concept and verify its potential viability before a full feasibility study is undertaken; complete a feasibility study that ensures that a decision to proceed with the project as a PPP is based on awareness of costs, risks, and value for money; conduct a risk appraisal methodology; devise a basic flow diagram including combining project and social safeguards appraisal methodologies; carry out a necessary due diligence process.
