ABSTRACT
Public Private Partnership (PPP) contracts are new contractual techniques in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries that represent a remarkable step towards achieving Sustainable Development Goals and the UN 2030 Agenda. Risk transfer from the public sector to the private sector has a significant influence on whether a PPP is a more efficient and cost-effective alternative to public investment and publicly funded provision of services. The causality between the proper public procurement system on PPPs and the significant improvement of public services is clear as new technologies are subjected to achieve public interests through adopting new PPPs patterns. Thus, despite the flow of the Anglo-American legal culture to Arab countries, states maintain their national identity by keeping some of their sovereignty through the administrative contract penalties that exist, to some extent, despite the new legal nature of the PPP contracts.
