A number of agencies with specific role in supporting the implementation of PPP projects are available in most of these APEC economies. In general, their role is directly related to the establishment of the projects, for instance, supporting selection of well-developed PPP projects, retaining specialized consultants, involving in procurement of capital assets, cooperating in term of technical supports, providing financing support to encourage private participation, issuing favorable opinion on the final version on the contract, delivering goverment services to support the implementation of the projects, etc.
Other than agencies supporting PPP domestically, an economy may also set up an agency to promote PPP abroad. The Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT), for example, has established Japan Overseas Infrastructure Investment Corporation for Transport and Urban Development (JOIN) for this purpose.
