Infrastructure development remains a cornerstone of economic growth, yet governments worldwide face budget constraints, rising debt, and urgent climate adaptation needs. Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have evolved beyond traditional models, now incorporating digital infrastructure, renewable energy projects, and social infrastructure (hospitals, schools, affordable housing).Â
Â
This Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) Project Finance and Infrastructure course provides a cutting-edge understanding of PPPs, covering financial structuring, risk mitigation, and emerging trends like decarbonization and digital transformation.
Â
Participants will analyse real-world case studies, including failed and successful PPPs, to derive actionable insights for future projects.Â
At the end of Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) Project Finance and Infrastructure course, participants will:
Understand the evolving role of PPPs in addressing modern infrastructure gaps and fostering economic resilience.
Compare global PPP models, including Availability Payments, Concessions, and Hybrid Structures, with a focus on emerging markets.
Master financial, legal, and ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) considerations in PPP structuring.
Explore innovative funding mechanisms, including green bonds, blended finance, and digital infrastructure
