    Africa needs new infrastructure. Roads, airports, schools, hospitals and housing: the list is enormous and growing. Yet severely limited budgets and deficits continue to prevent government at all levels from delivering the kinds of structural change that has always been needed.

     

    Merely grasping the concepts of PPP does not do justice to our great responsibility of having an ownership in Africa’s future. We already know what we need to do, now is the time to really discover HOW.

     

    This master class aims to do just that. Beginning with an in-depth understanding of how PPPs work, from financial, commercial, project & legal aspects, we seek to push our participants to innovate with real life case studies, group discussions and technical evaluation.

     

    Course Highlights

     

    • Financial & Commercial aspect of PPP - e.g. funding, how to attract investors, project finance, ROI
    • Project aspect of PPP - e.g. project planning, cost control, risk, implementation
    • Legal aspect of PPP - e.g. contract, regulation, dispute resolution
    • Sector-by-sector analysis of PPP models and structures
