Course
Learning Objectives
Creating
"bankable" investment and contracting transactions in the infrastructure
sectors (i.e. electricity, water, transportation, telecommunications, and
municipal services) is becoming more challenging as investors are demanding
greater risk management and accountability all the while the global investment
environment is becoming increasingly more competitive. Understanding and
utilizing modern and innovative techniques to structure and model project
finance transactions is critical in today's markets to ensure that projects
reach financial closure and continue to deliver value-for-money for consumers.
To assist governments, utilities, project
lenders, and project developers to better identify, analyze, negotiate, and
close infrastructure investment transactions, IP3 has designed a foundation
online course titled Fundamentals of Infrastructure Project
Finance. The course offers participants an introduction to project
finance and instruction on project finance structures, modeling examples, risk
mitigation strategies, and procurement. The course contains six modules, with
each module conducted over a one week period of time. Participants are
responsible for completing reading assignments, analyzing case studies,
actively participating in discussion boards and chat rooms with fellow
participants and the course instructor, and completing an action plan.
Participants will need access to a computer with Internet connectivity. Course
work is approximately 5 - 6 hours per module.
The target audience for this course is professionals who have had limited or
little exposure to project financing strategies and techniques and are seeking
to develop a greater understanding and skill in the use of this important
tool.
