Opponents to PPPs are effectively organized, either through public employee unions or interest groups antithetical to corporate involvement in public services or projects. To counter these voices, the National Council for Public Private Partnerships (NCPPP) conducts a number of public outreach activities. The NCPPP has published For the Good of the People, a white paper on PPPs (over 10,000 copies are now in circulation). The Council's members and staff are frequently speakers at conventions of public officials, and provide information to legislative and regulatory bodies as they craft new laws and regulations that affect PPPs. And www.ncppp.org has become a credible source of information for both the public officials and the general public. In part, the credibility on the Council is based on its membership, which is composed of both public agencies and private companies, all with the common objective of promoting public private partnerships as a viable option in serving the needs of the public. It is easy to understand that with these challenges facing PPPs, the focus of activities of the NCPPP is almost exclusively within the United States, even though many of its members are active in the international markets.
