PPP in Belarus

Public-private partnership (PPP)

PPP is a method of making investments that provides mutually beneficial cooperation between the state and business for the implementation infrastructure projects.

The essence of PPP is the involvement of private resources, including knowledge, technology, experience and money in the development of infrastructure facilities, traditionally related to the competence of the state. At the same time, one of the distinctive features of PPP is a clear division of responsibility and risks between public and private partners.

Public-private partnership center

The public-private partnership center (PPP center) was established on April 1, 2014 on the site of the Economic Research Institute of the Ministry of Economy. On September 1, 2016 the PPP Center was moved to the structure of the state institution "National Agency of Investment and Privatization" in order to increase the center's capacity and efficiency of its interaction with state authorities on the issues of attracting investments in the Republic of Belarus.

The main functions of the PPP Center are:

· evaluation of PPP project proposals, including PPP project concepts in accordance with legislative requirements;

· organizational, technical and informational support of the Interdepartmental Infrastructure Coordination Council;

· development and updating of the National Infrastructure Strategy of the Republic of Belarus in cooperation with state administration bodies;

· consulting state administration bodies and private business on PPP and strategic investment for infrastructure development;

· participation in improving the legal framework in the area of PPPs;

· distribution of relevant and reliable information on PPP development in the Republic of Belarus among those interested;

· professional development of representatives of state administration bodies, organizations and others interested in the implementation of PPP projects;

· consulting state administration bodies, organizations, including those with private ownership and others interested in PPPs and strategic investment for infrastructure development;

· ensuring the interstate exchange of experience in PPP development, including participation in PPP expert working groups.
