Capacidade regulatória dos entes públicos federais e subnacionais: uma proposta para gestão de contratos de parcerias público-privadas e concessões

Abstract

Brazil has long endured a significant shortage of good grant and public-private partnership (PPP) projects. In the last six years, as a result of a joint effort to favor PPPs, many projects have been auctioned or are in their structuring phase. Proper contract management is fundamental to the success of the projects but if poorly executed, leads to inefficiency and incalculable consequences. The main question is how the government will have the institutional capacity to manage these contracts, especially regarding unregulated sectors. This article describes, in addition to a survey of international benchmarking and good national practices, a proposal to improve the performance of federal entities to support the improvement of the regulatory institutional capacity of bodies and entities without relevant experience in the management of grant contracts.
