This article examines the need for and institutional design of a dedicated PPP center in Indonesia using qualitative evidence from 30 experienced PPP stakeholders. The findings reveal fragmentation across planning, fiscal, procurement, sectoral, subnational, financing, and guarantee institutions. Respondents supported stronger coordination but differed over how powerful a PPP center should be. The article proposes an enabling rather than substitutive PPP-center model, built around four functions: project-preparation and transaction support; coordination and escalation; standardization and knowledge management; and professional-capacity development. The effectiveness of a PPP center depends less on formal location than on mandate clarity, professional capability, access to decision makers, and a carefully designed relationship with government contracting agencies.
