Course Overview

Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have emerged as a transformative approach to infrastructure development and public service delivery, bridging the gap between government capabilities and private sector efficiency. According to the World Bank, over 134 developing countries have adopted PPP frameworks, with global investments exceeding $2.5 trillion in the past decade. These collaborations leverage private sector innovation, funding, and operational expertise while ensuring public accountability, making them a preferred model for large-scale projects in transportation, healthcare, energy, and urban development.
A well-structured PPP ensures optimal risk-sharing, where 70-80% of project risks are allocated to the party best equipped to manage them, enhancing project viability. Studies by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) indicate that PPPs reduce government fiscal burdens by 20-30% compared to traditional procurement, while improving service quality and delivery timelines. However, success hinges on robust legal frameworks, transparent procurement, and effective dispute resolution—key areas where many projects face challenges.
This Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Models and Development course combines foundational principles from Public-Private Partnerships (PPP): Foundations and Applications with advanced strategies from PPP Model Development and Program Strategies. Key highlights include:
Best practices in PPP structuring, procurement, and contract management from global case studies.
Risk allocation strategies to enhance project bankability and stakeholder confidence.
Dispute resolution mechanisms, including arbitration and mediation, to mitigate conflicts.
Comparative analysis of PPP models (Build-Operate-Transfer, Design-Build-Finance, etc.) for tailored solutions.
Designed for government officials, private sector stakeholders, and advisors, this course equips participants with the tools to design, negotiate, and manage PPPs that align with socio-economic goals while attracting private investment.

  • Best practices in PPP structuring, procurement, and contract management from global case studies.
