TRAINING ON DELIVERY OF PROJECTS THROUGH PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP

Public Private Partnership are one way to procure infrastructure and services and the PPP approach may provide significant benefits to the Government & Private if and when a number of conditions are met. In this way, the greatest possible value from this procurement option can be extracted in order to help countries to fill the infrastructure gap by accessing more private capital and expertise in an efficient and programmatic manner; this is especially true for Emerging Market and Developing Economy (EMDE) countries which Nigeria happens to be one of them.

In the mist of lean resources of Government & Private Sector, a comprehensive training program that encompasses various aspects of Public Private Partnership (PPP) are essential to position Chief Executive Officers (CEO) and the staff members of both Government & Private entities towards Planning and Executing a successful Public Private Partnership programme.

The training program would contain relevant topics such as Purpose of PPP, Characteristics of PPPs, Alternatives for infrastructure finance and procurement, what is PPP and what is not PPP, Types of PPP and nomenclature issues, Where PPPs are used: infrastructure sectors, Motivations for using PPPs: caveats, concerns and introduction to the PPP process cycle. The training programs care classified under Basic, Intermediate and Experts. Participants will issued Certificates at the end of the Training Program.

The duration for the training is 4 weeks (weekends)

Training Commences on Basic PPP for September Cohort on 5^th September, 2026
