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 six-week intensive training program on PPP (Public-Private Partnership) Skills and Competency Development.
The overall goal of this program is to provide organizations and institutions that are currently designing or implementing public-private partnership programs at the national, state, or municipal levels with a practical, hands-on, and results-oriented capacity building experience that will further their PPP planning and implementation objectives. The program consists of six modules, with each module being conducted over a one-week period.
- Evaluating the forms of PPP and where they are being used both within the SADC region and worldwide
- Analyzing SADC specific institutional reviews and case studies
- Analyzing about the implication of regulation on PPPs
- Identifying PPP opportunities and the key elements that go into a PPP pre-feasibility study
- Evaluating the elements to effectively structure the financing for PPP arrangements and put your new knowledge to the test in a financial modeling simulation exercise
- Analyzing how PPPs can be designed so that they stimulate the development of the local private sector and encourage local economic development
- Developing skills to effectively manage (and communicate with) the stakeholders to a PPP, including customers, the media, and labor unions
- Developing a detailed and personalized strategic Action Plan that will help you apply what you have learned on-the-job

Requirements for Completing the Course
Requirements for Completing the Course
The six-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 Action Plan.
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.
Assignments will be reviewed by the course facilitator and other participants, who will provide written feedback. All assignments must be completed in full and on time to receive your Certificate of Achievement and 6.0 CEUs.
