ABSTRACT
This chapter provides an analogy of MENA countries’ PPPs legislation and regulation and the international standards stipulated by international organizations such as the UNECE, OECD and the World Bank. The case study of Egypt, Kuwait and Dubai is of a fundamental importance to PPP regulation and to what extent PPP procedural techniques in the above-mentioned countries are compatible with international standards. This chapter compares the current situation of PPPs in MENA countries and if they are consistent with the Sustainable Development Goals or not. It provides factual economic statistics that are necessary to understand the international dynamics of PPP and how far MENA countries’ legal regimes are compatible with international standards. Further, it introduces the UN 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals and underscores the crucial topic of how PPPs can be subjected to serve Sustainable Development Goals in the light of the international organizations’ practice.
