Public Private Partnership (PPP): Project, Finance and Contracts Course
Introduction:
Public-private partnerships (PPPs) have emerged as a valuable tool for expanding access to high-quality infrastructure services for a larger population. When properly designed and implemented within a balanced regulatory framework, PPPs can enhance the efficiency and sustainability of public service provision in areas such as energy, transportation, telecommunications, water, healthcare, and education. Moreover, PPPs enable a more effective allocation of risk between public and private entities.
PPPs have become well-established worldwide, being utilized in over half of all countries. While originally prevalent in the construction of economic infrastructure like roads, bridges, and public transportation systems, PPPs are also employed in the development of social infrastructure such as schools, prisons, and hospitals.
This approach recognizes that both the public and private sectors possess unique strengths that can be leveraged for specific tasks. The private sector assumes responsibilities ranging from financing and design to construction, operation, management, and maintenance of the project.
The objective of this 8-day course is to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of PPPs. It covers various aspects, including financial, commercial, project, and legal considerations. Through real-life case studies, group discussions, and technical evaluations, the course aims to foster innovation among participants and equip them with the necessary skills to navigate the complexities of PPP implementation.
