Project Pipeline Development

The Mindanao PPP Desk follows a structured approach to identify and develop projects suitable for Public-Private Partnership (PPP) implementation. Projects may be initiated through MinDA directives, board resolutions, program outputs, or requests from implementing agencies (IAs).

The Desk works closely with IAs and stakeholders to conduct joint planning, gather data, perform research, and carry out due diligence. This produces a preliminary project definition, including estimated demand, projected revenues, project scope, and key benefits, which helps determine whether PPP is a viable financing option.

At the decision point, IAs assess project suitability using questions such as: Is there a regulatory framework for PPP? Can the project generate revenue or cost savings? Does it require significant investment? Are risks shareable with the private sector, and would a PPP provide advantages over traditional procurement? To guide this, a self-assessment tool is available to help stakeholders evaluate PPP potential. Projects unsuitable for PPP explore alternative financing options.

If deemed fit, the Desk prepares conceptual analyses, including indicative costs, preliminary PPP structures, governance mechanisms, and key documents such as Concept Notes, Project Briefers, and Information Memos to support early decisions and investment. Once the IA agrees, the project advances to formal development; otherwise, joint planning is revisited to refine the concept.
