Joint ventures (JVs) are increasingly becoming popular as a faster and easier approach to implement infrastructure, development and social service-related projects at the national and local government levels. To accelerate more economic growth tbrough public-private partnerships, the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) released the 2013 revised JV Guidelines applicable for government-owned and controlled corporations, government instrumentalities, government financial institutions, and state universities and colleges.
