Course Description
The SADC Banking Association, with 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 three-week intensive training program on PPP (Public-Private Partnership) Project Officers Management Skills Development.
The overall goal of this program is to provide those individuals responsible for identifying, developing, and monitoring public-private partnership projects (often referred to as “PPP Project Officers”) with the appropriate skills to manage and administer specific PPP project opportunities and programs for their organization. The key responsibilities of PPP Project Officers are to make sure a PPP project happens on time, on budget, and to the required standards — no small feat without the proper training. The focus of this new online program is on the specific elements that PPP implementers and practitioners need to effectively build and manage the right PPP team, manage the overall PPP process, and get to contract/transaction closure.
IP3’s team of training experts offers practical experience with top presentation skills. Participants who successfully complete the course requirements will receive a Certificate of Achievement.
By the end of the course, participants will have achieved the learning outcomes provided below.
Learning Outcomes:
- Evaluating roles, responsibilities, and management skills requirements of the PPP Project Officer during project inception and feasibility
- Analyzing roles, responsibilities and management skills requirements of the PPP Project Officer during the procurement process
- Evaluating roles, responsibilities, and management skills requirements of the PPP Project Officer during project development, delivery and exit
- Analyzing SADC and international case studies on successfully managing PPP Projects
- Engaging in online group discussions with participants from the SADC region and around the globe
- Creating a detailed and personalized strategic PPP Management Checklist that will help you apply what you have learned on-the-job

Requirements for Completing the Course
The three-week course is an intensive program designed for skills development in public-private partnerships. The weekly assignments require approximately eight to ten hours' commitment by the participant. There is an additional follow-up component 3-4 months after the course concludes on the status of your Management Checklist..
Your work can be completed any time during each week, but assignments must be posted to the course site on the due dates. You do not have to be "online" all the time to do your assignments- all documents are in PDF and can be downloaded and printed easily. You can complete your assignments off-line and then upload to the course site when ready. Assignments in the discussion board will require your connection to the Internet and the course site.

Evaluating topical "content-rich" documents and reference materials, case studies, simulation exercises and complete written assignments
Through discussion boards, email, and chat rooms, participate interactively with collaborate assignments and exchanges with participants and course facilitators worldwide
