Investment Partnerships Program (PPI)

The Investment Partnerships Program (PPI) was created within the scope of the Presidency of the Republic by Law No. 13,334 of 2016, with the purpose of expanding and strengthening the interaction between the State and the private sector through the signing of partnership agreements and other privatization measures. With the law that established the PPI, two structures were created in the Federal Administration: the PPI Council and the PPI Secretariat. The Council is the collegiate body that evaluates and recommends to the President of the Republic the projects that will be part of the PPI, also deciding on matters related to the execution of partnership agreements and privatizations. The Secretariat acts in support of the Ministries and Regulatory Agencies for the execution of the Program's activities.

The PPI Council will meet whenever convened to deliberate on matters on the agenda organized by the PPI Secretariat. Its main responsibilities are:

• To provide opinions, prior to the President of the Republic's decision, regarding the Ministries' proposals for the inclusion of projects in the PPI and regarding long-term federal policies for investment through partnerships;
• To coordinate, monitor, evaluate, and supervise the actions of the PPI and support the sectoral actions necessary for its execution.
• To perform the functions assigned to:
• The managing body for federal public-private partnerships (Law No. 11,079/04).
• The National Council for the Integration of Transport Policies (Law No. 10,233/01).
• The National Privatization Council (Law No. 9,491/97).
