Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) represent an important tool for the economic development of Puerto Rico. On June 8, 2009, Act 29 was approved in order to implement a new public policy that provides a clear legal framework and fosters the creation of PPPs in Puerto Rico. PPPs allow for the establishment of mutually beneficial contractual agreements between the Government and the private sector to provide public goods or services in a more efficient, effective and accessible way for the general public. To get a better understanding of the PPP Process, visit the Official PPPA Website at www.p3.gov.pr and look for Basic P3 Concepts.
