Subject
Summary:

This testimony discusses the findings of GAO's recent report on public-private partnerships, which identified the key elements of partnerships between the federal government and the private sector that were formed to help the government acquire and operate federal real estate and facilities more efficiently and effectively. (See GAO/GGD-99-23, Feb. 1999.) GAO (1) briefly discusses some of the weaknesses that are forcing agencies to think strategically when managing buildings and facilities and (2) focuses on one response to these challenges--public private partnerships--and reviews the key elements and related experiences of the six federal partnerships examined in GAO's earlier report. In connection with this testimony, GAO also released a glossary of terms, practices, and techniques related to building and facility partnerships. (See GAO/GGD-99-71, page 55.)
