Abstract
This research focused on partnership between public and private sector as a solution to rebuilding the Syrian economy after the civil war of 2011, especially after the issuance of The Partnership Law No. 5 / of 2016. The research problem lays by asking to what extent the private sector is able to participate in government projects? And what is the most appropriate formula or contractual methods used for such participation?
The researcher formulated an indicator – to be used in the first stage of partnership – consists of four objective elements to achieve the economic and social goals in the rebuilding process of Syrian infrastructure: size of capital, ability to create jobs, attracting technology, and the financial reality of the project. This indicator can evaluate all projects required for the rebuilding process of the affected areas in Syria in the near future.
The result showed that Syria is still not ready to implement the partnership because it has not yet implemented the laws and legislations that accompany the law of partnership such as financial, banking, insurance, taxation and accounting law for partnership projects. In addition to the unavailability of sufficient expertise in dealing with partnership contracts, and the lack of preparation of the cultural and public environment for such endeavor.
