Course Learning Objectives

Governments worldwide are faced with the key challenges of designing and developing policies, laws, and institutional frameworks to attract investment and promote efficient delivery of public services. Economies that lack an effective policy, legal, and regulatory framework have difficulty attracting investment and often develop expensive projects that are weak and unaffordable. This threatens the legitimacy of PPP in general and undermines efforts to develop effective strategies for PPP at the national and local level. Effective frameworks are essential prerequisites to promoting private sector development, improved service delivery, and overall successful economic growth.

In the course titled Designing Legislative, Institutional, and Regulatory Frameworks for Successful Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) , participants will examine the critical issues surrounding the design of policies and institutions to promote service delivery, the legal prerequisites to attract investment, and the regulatory framework to monitor contracts between governments and service providers.

Through presentations, case studies, simulated exercises, and on-site meetings with leading legal, financial, and institutional PPP legislative, institutional, and legal experts, participants will gain new knowledge and skills that will enable them to develop an Action Plan that addresses their requirements necessary to develop sound PPP programs.
