Project Description
IFC will assist in introducing private sector participation for a public-private partnership project. The proposed transaction will involve the development and/ or management and operation of an asset or services by a private operator under specific conditions
and obligations, which are to be determined.
Development Results
Introducing private sector participation to operate, and maintain (and potentially rehabilitate) sewerage infrastructure assets currently managed by the Tunisian National Sanitation Authority (Office National de lAssainissement or ONAS) will increase access of end-users to improves services. This pioneering PPP project in the sector also holds great potential for replication for other countries facing similar challenges.
