The activity aims to identify the three priority ports for preliminary feasibility assessments; designs and cost estimation based on which a financing strategy is to be developed. It would explore various funding options including government budget; private sector investment; public-private partnerships (PPPs); and development financing. The activity will also carry out stakeholder consultations; assessment of potential environment and social impacts; and prepare a development plan for the priority ports in alignment with the Department of Transportation's (DOTr) broader goals.
