Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) are seen as critical for bridging the nation’s extensive infrastructure funding deficits. The most urgent sectors requiring investment are: Energy sector: estimated $759 billion Transport sector: approximately $595 billion The government is also prioritizing Information and Communications Technology (ICT), agriculture, healthcare, and education. The ICRC is in continuous discussions with global investors, financial institutions, and international development partners to accelerate project execution and foreign direct investment.
