Castalia advised on a PPP for the Corporación Nacional para el Desarrollo (CND) of Uruguay to develop 44 kindergarten (Jardines) and 15 daycare centers (CAIFs). The tender is planned to be launched at the end of 2016. This is the first PPP project in education infrastructure in the country. It is the first stage of broader program to build education infrastructure in Uruguay, totaling US$430m.
