Resumen en español: No existe una definición ampliamente aceptada de asociaciones público-privadas (PPP). El laboratorio de conocimientos de PPP define un PPP como «un contrato a largo plazo entre una parte privada y una entidad gubernamental, para proporcionar un activo o servicio público, en el que la parte privada asume una responsabilidad significativa de gestión y riesgo, y la remuneración está vinculada al desempeño». . Las APP generalmente no incluyen contratos de servicios o contratos de construcción llave en mano, que se clasifican como proyectos de contratación pública, o la privatización de servicios públicos donde el sector público tiene una función limitada en curso. Para una discusión más amplia, vea PPP Knowledge Lab. Un número creciente de países está consagrando una definición de APP en sus leyes, cada uno adaptando la definición a sus particularidades institucionales y legales.
____________________________________
There is no one widely accepted definition of public-private partnerships (PPP). The PPP Knowledge Lab defines a PPP as «a long-term contract between a private party and a government entity, for providing a public asset or service, in which the private party bears significant risk and management responsibility, and remuneration is linked to performance». PPPs typically do not include service contracts or turnkey construction contracts, which are categorized as public procurement projects, or the privatization of utilities where there is a limited ongoing role for the public sector. For a broader discussion, see PPP Knowledge Lab. An increasing number of countries are enshrining a definition of PPPs in their laws, each tailoring the definition to their institutional and legal particularities.

*Note: Although the key features of each category are summarized, there is overlap between the categories and the name given to a particular agreement may not reflect this classic categorization. Care should also be taken to identify whether a specific classification is enshrined in the laws of the host country, as in the case of many civil law jurisdictions where there are strict definitions of «concessions» and «affermages». The sample agreements included in this section are not the full range of agreements associated with infrastructure projects. They agreements are NOT intended to be used as «models». Legal advice should be sought in the preparation and drafting of an agreement to ensure that it is appropriate and workable in the circumstances of a particular project, sector and country.

Additional relevant sections include municipal PPPs and private participation in fragile and conflict-affected states.
