The environment for public-private partnerships (PPPs) in Latin America and the Caribbean has evolved positively over the past ten years.

After a decade of progress, 16 countries in the region have created PPP Units that provide technical support and oversee private participation in infrastructure, demonstrating political support for private investment in infrastructure.

Although the performance of PPPs vary across the region, mobilization of private capital for infrastructure has taken a decidedly upward track and provides a good environment for public-private partnerships.
