Nature/ Scope of PPP Capacity Building Interventions/ Programs

The P3 Canada Fund is a dedicated federal infrastructure program aimed at providing financial support towards public infrastructure projects delivered under PPP procurement models. Its main objective is to support innovative PPP projects that deliver value for money for all Canadians and develop the Canadian PPP market, with a focus on jurisdictions inexperienced with PPP procurement. The strategic use of the P3 Canada Fund, along with other initiatives and efforts led by PPP Canada such as the development of standardized procurement tools and guides, contribute to building capacity across the public sector at all levels of government in Canada.

Other dedicated provincial PPP Unit work on capacity building and the sharing of best practices in order to foster capacity building.
