Public-Private Partnership (PPP) can be broadly defined as a contractual agreement between the Government and a private firm targeted toward financing, designing, implementing and operating infrastructure facilities and services that were traditionally provided by the public sector. It embodies optimal risk allocation between the parties – minimizing cost while realizing project developmental objectives. Thus, the project is to be structured in such a way that the private sector gets a reasonable rate of return on its investment.
By virtue of Executive Order No. 8 series of 2010, as amended by Executive Order No. 136 series of 2013, the PPP Center is mandated to facilitate the implementation of the country’s PPP Program and Projects.
The PPP Center is the main driver of the PPP Program. It serves as the central coordinating and monitoring agency for all PPP projects in the Philippines. It champions the country’s PPP Program by enabling implementing agencies in all aspects of project preparation, managing of the Project Development and Monitoring Facility (PDMF), providing project advisory and facilitation services, and monitoring and empowering agencies through various capacity-building activities. The PPP Center provides technical assistance to national government agencies (NGAs), government-owned-and-controlled corporations (GOCCs), government financial institutions (GFIs), state universities and colleges (SUCs), and local government units (LGUs) to help develop and implement critical infrastructure and other development projects. The PPP Center is also advocating policy reforms to improve the legal and regulatory frameworks governing PPPs in order to maximize the great potential of these infrastructure and development projects in the country.
Through Executive Order No. 136, the PPP Center shall act as the Secretariat of the PPP Governing Board. The Board is the overall policy-making body for all PPP-related matters, including the PDMF. It shall be responsible for setting the strategic direction of the Philippine PPP Program and creating an enabling policy and institutional environment for PPP.
