Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) are an important tool particularly useful in infrastructure development projects, related with transportation, energy, water and environment. This tool is especially relevant in countries like Angola, requiring an accelerated path for its infrastructure implementation. However PPPs can also be used in a large number of different areas like technology transfer, cultural, health and social activities, having equal relevance in Angola. PPPs can have several configurations not only from an economical, but also from a legal perspective, requiring different private and public bodies involvement, risk and financial options.The use of these different models should be matched with the type of the project where they will be applied.This paper will evaluate the different types of PPPs regarding their legal and economic configuration and their ability to be used on the development of different sectors in Angola.

Keywords : Public Private Partnerships; PPPs; Angola; Economic Development; Emerging Markets.
