The governorate of Mahdia has announced the signing of a contract with a strategic partner to develop the Sebkha Ben Ghayadha area, a project that aims to create a smart, sustainable, and open city on the coast. The agreement was concluded between the General Instance of Public-Private Partnership (IGPPP) and the MAP/ARLYNK/PwC consortium, for the benefit of the Sebkha Ben Ghayadha Development and Planning Company.
A Strategic Project for Tunisia's Development
The project is part of the Tunisian government's efforts to accelerate the development of major structuring projects, in line with the orientations of President Kais Saied and the decisions of the High Commission responsible for accelerating public projects. The Minister of Equipment and Housing, Slah Zouari, emphasized the importance of this project, which aims to create a model city that integrates urban, economic, tourist, and service spaces.
A New Phase for the Project
The signing of the contract marks a new phase in the project's development, with the creation of a steering committee to provide the necessary information, documents, and advice to advance the project. The committee will have the mission of framing the key stages, enriching the studies, and ensuring the project's openness to new investment opportunities.
A Project with High Potential for Job Creation and Economic Growth
The project covers an area of 142 hectares on the southern coast of Mahdia, with the creation of tourist, commercial, and service poles, as well as a smart city that meets international standards. The project is expected to create many job opportunities and stimulate economic growth in the region.
A Participatory Approach
The project's development will be based on a participatory approach, with the involvement of local residents, institutions, and experts. The steering committee will ensure that the project is open to new investment opportunities and that the needs and aspirations of the local population are taken into account.
International Promotion
The project will be presented at the MIPIM in Cannes, one of the world's largest real estate events, to attract high-level investor groups. The goal is to prepare solid and informed candidates for the call for tenders, which is expected to be launched within a year to a year and a half.
A New Dimension for Private Investment in Tunisia
The project is expected to open a new dimension for private investment in Tunisia, particularly in the tourism and economic sectors. The MAP/ARLYNK/PwC consortium will have the mission of realizing technical and economic studies, promoting the project, and attracting reference investors to select a strategic partner.
A Strategic Partnership
The partnership between the IGPPP and the MAP/ARLYNK/PwC consortium is a strategic one, with the goal of ensuring the successful development of the project.
