Public – Private Partnership in the Road Sector
This five-day program equips professionals to structure, finance, and manage road sector public-private partnerships. Participants build skills in concession design, financial modelling, risk allocation, and contract performance management.
Introduction
Public – Private Partnership in the Road Sector Training Course prepares professionals to structure, negotiate, and manage highway partnerships that deliver lasting value. Participants learn how governments and private partners share risk, finance construction, and operate road assets across long concession periods. The program combines contractual and financial technique with practical work on feasibility studies, bid evaluation, and performance monitoring. As a result, learners gain the confidence to design partnerships that are bankable, transparent, and sustainable. Furthermore, the course builds the technical and commercial judgement that road PPP transactions demand.
Public – Private Partnership in the Road Sector Course Objectives
- Explain the core public-private partnership models applied to road infrastructure.
