DAVAO CITY – The Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) has launched the Mindanao Public-Private Partnership Facilitation Initiative, also known as the Mindanao PPP Program and PPP Desk.
MinDA Secretary Leo Tereso Magno said the initiative, in collaboration with the Public-Private Partnership Center of the Philippines, aims to build a strong pipeline of bankable projects, strengthen agency capacities in Mindanao, and foster a favorable environment for long-term private investment and revenue-generating ventures that support inclusive local development.
“This marks another milestone in our journey toward building a better Mindanao. We have officially launched the Mindanao PPP Program and Desk, and now shift our focus to activating this platform for real impact,” Magno said during the launch last week.
He added that the program is designed to align with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s broader strategy to promote regional investment and accelerate infrastructure development through PPPs.
Its primary goal is to support local government units (LGUs) in implementing high-impact infrastructure and energy projects, ensuring sustainability, financial viability, and alignment with national priorities.
During a press briefing, Magno announced that the PPP Desk has been opened at MinDA’s Davao City office and is now digitally accessible to all LGUs and agencies across Mindanao.
