Training Course Overview

Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects are highly complex endeavors with significant financial implications and outcomes. These projects often involve infrastructure, power generation, and utilities, all of which must be implemented both efficiently and sustainably. To achieve success, a variety of challenges must be addressed, and understanding these challenges through case studies included in this training will offer participants valuable insights into the best practices for delivering and implementing successful PPP projects.

This Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) Project Preparation training course will uncover best practices that apply across different countries, whether in emerging markets or developing economies, while always considering local conditions. Through a range of case studies and examples, you will explore both successful and less effective practices, gaining insights from real-world experiences and understanding how PPPs have evolved over time.

Effective project preparation is crucial for the success of PPP projects. The PPP model requires a more collaborative relationship between the public and private sectors, marked by openness and trust, in contrast to the traditional arms-length approach to service procurement and project execution. Well-designed, feasible projects not only attract greater interest from potential investors but also demonstrate the benefits of advancing the project to the procurement phase. As such, PPP projects demand specialized personnel with a deep understanding of the constraints involved and extensive knowledge of the processes for preparing and initiating a PPP project.

In this Anderson training course, we will address current issues in key areas of PPP projects, offering specialized knowledge, evidence-based practices, and theoretical concepts through a focus on case studies and practical examples.

  • Selection of a PPP contract type for given project context
