Identification of bidders and marketing support to DGAPPP for Ambar highway PPP project
Description of project
The Autopista del Ámbar is a major infrastructure initiative in the Dominican Republic aimed at enhancing the country's connectivity and facilitating economic growth, particularly through improving transportation links to the northern region. This highway is strategically important as it connects key regions and supports both tourism and trade. The Dirección General de Alianzas Público-Privadas (DGAPPP) is the governmental body tasked with promoting public-private partnerships (PPP) in the Dominican Republic. The DGAPPP plays a vital role in structuring, managing, and overseeing projects like the Autopista del Ámbar, which require significant private investment to become viable. It serves as a bridge between the public sector and private investors, ensuring that infrastructure projects meet the country's development goals while offering opportunities for private sector participation. The DGAPPP seeks to attract foreign and local investors, creating a framework that supports sustainable economic development through these collaborations.
The Autopista del Ámbar highway project is part of the Dominican Republic’s broader infrastructure development strategy, aimed at strengthening the northern region's economy by enhancing connectivity. The project is designed to provide a faster and more efficient route between key cities and regions, particularly serving areas that have seen increasing industrial and tourism-related activities. The project is envisioned to not only boost internal trade but also attract foreign investment by improving transport logistics for both goods and people. The highway will reduce travel time, decrease congestion in urban areas, and open up opportunities for real estate development and tourism ventures along its route.
