Infrastructure

In rural New Zealand, GG International facilitated and undertook the commercial bid to acquire a government-owned hydropower station by a private sector and indigenous landowner consortium. We developed a PPP model that balanced commercial objectives with social considerations and ensured equitable sharing among stakeholders of the benefits of the infrastructure project. This approach improved infrastructure efficiency, promoted community development, and brought economic value with the ultimate landowners at the table, removing any future economic destruction through conflicting financial interests that sometimes happen between a landlord and a tenant.

We played a pivotal role in designing a PPP model between Ericsson, a global ICT leader, and Broadcast Communications Limited (BCL), New Zealand's state-owned terrestrial TV broadband network. This initiative aimed to establish a cost-effective mobile network in anticipation of an upcoming radio spectrum auction, ensuring the strategic positioning of Ericsson to supply network solutions to successful bidders.

Our global firm was pivotal in restructuring Mongolia's ICT Public-Private Partnership (PPP) with Korea Telecom and Mongolian Telecom, addressing inefficiencies in the existing 20-year infrastructure lease. Through a comprehensive review of legal contracts, regulatory frameworks, and market structures, GG International developed new PPP and privatization models, ensuring a more competitive and sustainable telecom sector. This effort culminated in successful negotiations that transitioned Mongolia toward an Open Access model, fostering equitable network access, reducing duplication, and optimizing infrastructure utilization for long-term efficiency.

GG International is collaborating with the Palestinian Disaster Risk Reduction and Insurance Fund (PADRRIF) in Palestine to enhance food security and strengthen farmers' resilience through a sustainable agriculture insurance program. This initiative is structured as a Public-Private Partnership (PPP), ensuring its financial viability without relying on substantial government subsidies, which are common in other parts of the world. By leveraging private sector investment and risk-sharing mechanisms, the program provides affordable insurance solutions that protect farmers against climate shocks and market volatility, fostering long-term agricultural stability and economic growth in Palestine. Recently PADRRIF has been absorbed into the Ministry of Agriculture to continue its important work.

Our firm played a key role in strengthening Cambodia's Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) capacity through a World Bank-funded Trade Facilitation and Competitiveness Project. Our team developed comprehensive training materials, drafted a standardized Concession Contract, and created a regulatory Guidebook to support government officials in implementing the 2008 Law on Concessions. We conducted 64 training seminars across Phnom Penh and provincial ministries, providing hands-on guidance on concession contracts, financial modeling, and international best practices. All materials were translated into Khmer, ensuring accessibility, and participants rated the training at 88% in terms of effectiveness.

GG International has a proven track record of advising governments and private sector entities on structuring, negotiating, and implementing Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) across diverse sectors, including ICT, infrastructure, energy, and financial services. Our expertise in regulatory frameworks, contract development, and stakeholder engagement has enabled governments to attract investment and businesses to successfully navigate complex PPP arrangements, ensuring long-term sustainability and economic growth.
