The PPP Center through its Capacity Building Division (CBD) strives to empower implementing agencies (IAs) with the competencies to craft well-structured public-private partnership (PPP) infrastructure development projects. This is in line with the PPP Center mandate of “providing advisory services, technical assistance, training and capacity development to agencies/ LGUs in PPP project preparation and development.”

The objective of this paper is to outline issues related to the choice between public procurement (including overseas development assistance) and PPPs as well as implementation and monitoring of PPP projects and fiscal risks in general and more specific to the case of the Philippines.
This paper underscores how strong institutions, unified procurement frameworks, and effective dispute resolution mechanisms can improve the implementation of infrastructure PPPs in these countries. A comparative analysis also draws lessons for other economies in Asia and the Pacific that are seeking to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their PPPs.
