A Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) contract is a model used to finance large projects, typically infrastructure projects developed through public-private partnerships. Under this arrangement, the private sector entity designs, builds, and operates the project for a set period of time before transferring it back to the government or another party. This type of contract can be an attractive option for governments looking to get large projects off the ground as it shifts some of the financial risk onto the private sector. Additionally, BOT contracts can help stimulate economic growth by creating jobs and generating revenue during construction and operation phases.
