This video was originally recorded as a webinar in 2014 to
provide an overview of EPA’s Best Practices Guide for Performance Partnership
Grants (PPGs) with Tribes. It includes why PPGs were adopted, the relationship
between PPGs and performance partnership agreements (PPAs), entities eligible
to receive PPGs, advantages of PPGs in realizing workplan commitments, and
examples of how PPGs may function under General Assistance Program grants. For
current program information and guidance documents see https://www.epa.gov/ocir/national-environmental-performance-partnership-system-nepps.
