Course Learning Objectives

Worldwide every year billions of dollars of investment is required in the airport, roads, ports, and rail sectors. Without cost-effective transportation, moving goods/products becomes prohibitively expensive and time consuming, tourism suffers, and a country's competitiveness is reduced. Economic development, commerce, and poverty alleviation are also negatively affected by under investment and inadequate management of transportation infrastructure. Unfortunately, the amount of financing and technical skills needed to provide "world class" transportation infrastructure is simply not within the means of most public sector agencies

To address these issues, IP3's course on Structuring and Financing PPP Projects in the Transportation Sector will teach participants the requisite skills to be able to identify, structure, procure, finance, negotiate, and monitor public-private partnership and private sector investments in the highway, airport, port and rail sectors. Through presentations and case studies led by expert instructors, site visits, and simulation exercises, participants are expected to apply the knowledge learned and create a special PPP Transportation Action Plan for their own agency..
