CRP Public Private Partnership is more than cooperation

It is a strategic investment in the future of our region. When companies join forces with local authorities and community organizations, they help create a stable, healthy environment for future employees, customers, and families. PPPs allow businesses to demonstrate leadership, social responsibility, and commitment to long‑term regional development. By participating, companies not only support prevention and education, but also strengthen the economic and social foundation on which their own success depends.

What does it mean ?

PPP in your context stands for Public–Private Partnership — a structured collaboration between the public sector, private businesses, and often civil‑society organizations. For Drug Prevention Romania, PPP is not just a label; it is the organizational framework that makes the project viable, credible, and scalable.

A Public–Private Partnership is a long‑term cooperation model in which:

• public institutions (e.g., Brașov County, mayors, school authorities)

• private companies (members of the Chamber of Commerce, employers)

• civil‑society actors (AVAC Association, prevention initiatives)

• technical/industrial partners (the manufacturer of the drug tests)

work together toward a societal goal that none of them could achieve as effectively on their own.

This PPP based on sponsorship or a donation — it is a strategic collaboration with defined roles, responsibilities, and benefits.
