Guide on effective jt venture with gov’t

Joint ventures (JVs) are increasingly becoming popular as a faster and easier approach toward implementing infrastructure, development and social service-related projects at the national and local government levels. To accelerate more economic growth through public-private partnerships, the National Economic and Develtion opment Authority (NEDA) released the revised 2013 JV Guidelines applicable for government-owned and -controlled corporations, government instrumentalities, government financial institutions, and state universities and colleges. For local government units (LGUs), they are governed by their own JV ordinances.

To guide the private sector on how to JV with the government and vice versa, the Center for Global Best Practices will hold a seminar titled, “Business And Public Officials’ Guide on How to Effectively Joint Venture Legally with LGUs and GOCCs” on Nov. 9, 2017 at the Makati Shangri-La Hotel.

This special program will feature Atty. Alberto Agra, a certified PPP specialist, certified regulation specialist (Institute for Public-Private Partnerships), PPP and local government law professor and a political law bar reviewer (Ateneo Law School). He drafted a proposed PPP Code/ Ordinance for LGUs which to date has been referred to by 23 LGUs (13 provinces, eight cities and two municipalities). Presently, he is chairman of the Philippine Reclamation Authority.

Interested participants are encourage to avail of the early registration savings and group discount for three or more attendees.
