Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) as one of the ways of project financing is becoming continuously critical in implementing infrastructure projects worldwide. They provide a sustainable solution to the challenge of economic development vis-à-vis the limited national resources. As more and more governments, private enterprises, and financial institutions become increasingly involved in structuring or implementing public-private partnerships, a need has arisen to develop the skills and experience of individuals and all stakeholders involved in this process.
Training in PPPs enables the persons involved and all stakeholders acquire the skills they need to undertake, manage and implement infrastructure projects, from inception to project closure by empowering them with the knowledge they require to develop and implement policies that strengthen the environment for infrastructure.
