Comprehensive Course in Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs)
A five-day programme on structuring, procuring, and managing infrastructure partnerships, covering PPP models and institutional frameworks, feasibility and value for money assessment, risk allocation, procurement and concession agreement design, project financing, and contract management and fiscal accounting.
Introduction
Comprehensive Course in Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) Training Course builds the strategic and financial capability that governments and private sponsors need to structure, procure, and manage infrastructure partnerships. PPPs deliver public assets through private finance and expertise, and they commit public budgets for decades. That long horizon makes the quality of structure, risk allocation, and contract design decisive. Weak PPPs transfer cost to taxpayers and stall delivery. This course develops the discipline that prevents those outcomes. It covers PPP models, feasibility, procurement, and financing. Furthermore, it applies risk allocation, contract design, and performance management. In addition, it develops governance, fiscal accounting, and dispute resolution. As a result, participants structure partnerships that deliver value for money.
