This document outlines criteria and relevant issues to help prioritize among Public-Private Partnership projects in economic and social infrastructure across multiple sectors. The process is subjective but grounded in key elements and best practices identified in regional and international contexts. The tool is meant to be dynamic, allowing for continuous learning and adaptation over time, while maintaining a consistent set of criteria. The aim is to highlight the most relevant dimensions for analysis, strengthen infrastructure planning processes, inform decision-making, and allow for future adaptation to specific regulatory and institutional frameworks. Therefore, this document and its corresponding methodology should be seen as a set of technical and strategic considerations to be tailored to specific contexts.
