The Egyptian Ministry of Education has submitted a list of 24 plots of land across 12 governorates to the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Unit at the Ministry of Finance, aiming to attract private investment for educational projects. This move reflects Egypt’s ongoing push to enhance public infrastructure through strategic partnerships with the private sector.
Atter Hannoura, Director of the PPP Central Unit at the Ministry of Finance, shared the update with Asharq Business, stating that these plots are being considered for various educational developments. He also revealed that an additional 12 major infrastructure projects, with an estimated investment value of EGP 61 billion, have been submitted to the Supreme Committee for Partnership for further evaluation. These projects span critical sectors such as sewage and water stations, electricity transformers, and network developments.
Regarding the role of the private sector in the management and development of Egyptian airports, Hannoura confirmed that discussions are ongoing. While the government has agreed to involve private investors, studies are currently underway to determine which airports will be included in the partnership and to define the participation shares between the government and the private sector.
