participation in the country’s port sector, in compliance with a condition

Cotonou. Objectives are to: 1) provide transaction advice to the
government regarding the appropriate level of transfer of activities to
the private sector and the reinforcement of the role of the Port
Authority; and 2) select through a transparent competitive process private
operators to develop and operate the new quays, to be financed by the
Millennium Challenge Corporation in the Port of Cotonou.
