Each of these ventures, with its own operational and business/financial characteristics, is part of an integrated plan.

Interested parties can, consequently, be involved as participants in all or some of the individual opportunities

The goal being to involve the private sector in financially viable opportunities, while meeting the overall strategic goals which are economically driven.

To achieve this, use is to be made of a SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle) which provides the required flexibility, in contrast to
traditional PPP (Public Private Partnerships).
This also enables a faster project development and 
implementation with the goal of immediate job creation.
