What PPP Agency does

The PPP Agency (State Organization "Agency on Support Public-Private Partnership" / Державна організація «Агенція з питань підтримки державно-приватного партнерства») is a Ukrainian government entity established on November 2, 2018 by Order of the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine #1607. Operating within the Ministry's management sphere, the agency functions as the central advisory body for public-private partnership (PPP) project preparation and implementation in Ukraine. It provides comprehensive support to public sector entities — central executive bodies, local governments, and local executive bodies — across the full PPP project lifecycle, including project identification, feasibility studies, tender documentation preparation, market communication, investor search, project structuring, and contract management assistance.

The agency's active project portfolio includes four marquee transactions: the 30-year Kherson Specialized Seaport concession (Risoil-Kherson LLC, approximately 300 million UAH committed investment), the 35-year Olvia Specialized Seaport concession (QTerminals, approximately 3.4 billion UAH / ~$85 million committed, described as one of the largest FDI in Ukraine's port industry in 30 years), the Rail-Ferry Terminal concession in Chornomorsk, and the PPP Healthcare Project in Lviv (hospital consolidation, laboratory, and imaging PPPs). The agency also operates the PPP Knowledge Lab, an educational platform with guides, toolkits, and benchmarking resources for PPP practitioners, and serves as the implementation vehicle for the PREPARE Ukraine Project Preparation Facility backed by a $44.3 million initial tranche from the World Bank-administered Ukraine Relief, Recovery, Reconstruction, and Reform Trust Fund (URTF Grant Agreement TF0C8992, signed July 10, 2025).

As a state organization, PPP Agency does not generate commercial revenue and does not charge fees for its advisory services. Its operations are funded by Ministry of Economy allocations and donor grants, with the World Bank, IFC, PPIAF, and EBRD serving as core technical and financial partners. Strategic partnerships include a 2019 Memorandum of Understanding with IFC for PPP advisory support, ongoing collaboration with PPIAF on evaluation criteria, an April 7, 2026 Memorandum of Cooperation with the Japan PFI/PPP Association for bilateral PPP development, and operational alignment with SPILNO (the PPP Management Office) and the Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure on concession tenders. The agency is headquartered at 174 Antonovycha Street, Kyiv, and operates across Ukraine on a national basis.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• World Bank Group / URTF: Administrator of the Ukraine Relief, Recovery, Reconstruction, and Reform Trust Fund (URTF) that channels donor funding to the PPP Agency; broader development finance institution with global PPP expertise and donor convening power.
• Infrastructure and Projects Authority (UK IPA): UK government's centre of expertise for infrastructure and major projects; analogous PPP/infrastructure advisory body operating within a national government structure, providing a mature benchmark for the PPP Agency's mandate.
• European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD): Direct partner on Kherson and Olvia seaport concessions; provides infrastructure financing and PPP advisory across emerging markets, including Ukraine. Larger scale and broader mandate but same concession preparation ecosystem.
• International Finance Corporation (IFC): World Bank Group member providing PPP advisory globally and a core strategic partner/supplier of technical assistance to the PPP Agency; comparable in PPP structuring expertise but at much larger scale and global mandate.
• Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility (PPIAF): Multi-donor trust fund coordinated by the World Bank providing technical assistance for PPP preparation; functions as a co-funding partner of the PPP Agency and an upstream peer in building PPP-enabling environments.

Regional players

• National Treasury PPP Unit (South Africa): South African government's PPP unit housed in National Treasury; one of the most established developing-market PPP units globally and a useful operational peer for an emerging-market PPP advisory body.
• Indonesia Infrastructure Guarantee Fund / PT SMI: State-owned Indonesian infrastructure financing and advisory entity supporting PPP project preparation in Southeast Asia — comparable in function (government-backed PPP preparation) and in operating in an emerging-market, multi-sector context.

Direct peers

• SPILNO (PPP Management Office): Ukraine's PPP Management Office under the Ministry of Infrastructure that prepares concession projects — directly comparable function to the PPP Agency but with overlapping rather than clearly delineated mandate, creating competitive overlap for project mandates.

Others

• UNECE PPP Team: United Nations Economic Commission for Europe team that develops PPP standards, guidance, and capacity-building resources used by national PPP agencies — ecosystem enabler and standard-setter relevant to the PPP Agency's Knowledge Lab.

Emerging players

• Japan PFI/PPP Association: Signed MoC with the PPP Agency in April 2026; Japanese PPP/PFI industry body that promotes private participation in public infrastructure — a strategic counterpart and emerging cross-border knowledge partner.
