Planning and Delivery of Public-Private Partnerships (PPP)
Public Private Partnerships (PPP) represent a contractual model where the public authority calls upon private firms to build, finance and operate infrastructure or equipment that provide public services (transportation, health, municipal services, water and sewerage, etc). The seminar will help participants to better understand the PPP financing model in the context of developing and emerging countries and enhance their capacity to implement it.
