The Ministry of Education in Jordan has launched a tender for the construction of 15 public schools under a public-private partnership (PPP) in selected areas of the Amman capital, Madaba and Zarqa governorates.

The selected private partner will be responsible for the design, build, finance and maintenance (DBFM) of 15 schools for 150,000 students. The project is a continuation of the collaboration between the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and Jordan. An advisory services agreement was signed with the IFC, who also acts as the principal financial advisor, and with the support of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). 

The project aims to have a development impact on improving the quality of the educational process, by reducing the number of schools with classrooms with overcrowding and improving school infrastructure, including through the use of alternative renewable energy sources.
