Public-Private Partnerships Defined
A Public-Private Partnership is a contractual agreement
between a public agency (federal, state or local) and a
private sector entity. Through this agreement, the skills
and assets of each sector (public and private) are shared
in delivering a service or facility for the use of the general
public. In addition to the sharing of resources, each party
shares in the risks and rewards potential in the delivery of
the service and/or facility.
