The PPP Policy 2010, paved the way for the establishment of the PPP Office (now the PPP Authority), which was founded in 2011 by a gazette on the PPP Office's resources. The key impetus in the development of the program started from 2012 with the appointment of a Chief Executive Officer to the PPP Office to drive initiatives required to re-invigorate PPPs in Bangladesh. Established as a unit having significant autonomy on administrative and financial matters under the Prime Minister's Office, the PPP Office acted as the central point for promoting the PPP concept and in supporting Line Ministries and Agencies in developing PPP projects.
A number of other institutions were also created to provide comprehensive support to ensuring the success of the PPP programme. The PPP Unit was established in the Finance Division to oversee, support and process request for financing for the PPP program. The Bangladesh Infrastructure Finance Fund Ltd. (BIFFL) was established to provide lending support to PPP project sponsors.
The PPP Office had also developed a network of focal points at all relevant line ministries in order to support the processing of PPP projects and started the process of establishing PPP cells at selected agencies who were developing multiple PPP projects.
