<![CDATA[This study addresses the notable gap in existing research by examining the critical role of The Ministry of National Development Planning/National Development Planning Agency (Kementerian PPN/Bappenas) in the country’s infrastructure development through Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) financing scheme.
