SADC & IP3

The SADC Banking Association, under financial support from The Banking Association South Africa and the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), is pleased to offer, in cooperation with the Institute for Public-Private Partnerships (IP3), a series of intensive online professional training programs on Public-Private Partnerships (PPP's).

The overall goal of these programs is to provide organizations and institutions that are currently designing or implementing public-private partnership programs at the national, state, or municipal/local levels with a practical, hands-on, and results-oriented capacity building experience that will further their PPP planning, implementation, and management objectives. The current catalog offerings consist of two courses:

• PPP Skills and Competency Development, an online program with six-modules, with each module being conducted over a one-week period; and
• PPP Project Officer's Management Skills Development Training, an online program with three modules, with each module being conducted over a one week period.

For complete information on each course, including objectives, module content, other relevant information, click on the course name above.

Participants in these courses will be responsible for completing weekly assignments, interacting via discussion boards and emails with fellow participants and course facilitators, and completing an action plan. The programs will be conducted entirely over the Internet- access can be made from any computer (at any time) with an Internet connection.

Join the hundreds of participants through the SADC region and all of Africa who have participated in these pioneering learning events.
