Established in 2008 under the Public–Private Partnership (PPP) framework (Law No. 7/2008), KAPP is the Kuwaiti government’s principal body responsible for overseeing and facilitating PPP projects across multiple sectors. These include energy, water and wastewater, education, health, transportation, communications, real estate, and waste management.

KAPP’s mission is to leverage private sector expertise and investment to enhance public infrastructure and services efficiently and cost-effectively. Recent Reuters reporting notes that KAPP is structuring PPP models where a private strategic partner holds between 26% and 44% of a project company, 50% of equity is offered to Kuwaiti citizens, and the remainder is retained by the government.
