Course Learning Objectives

One of the most critical aspects of implementing successful and sustainable public-private partnership and privatization programs is the design and development of effective project and contract monitoring procedures. Government agencies, municipalities, regulatory bodies, and utilities alike must be vigilant in monitoring the technical and financial requirements of all such projects, to ensure appropriate performance and to mitigate stakeholder complaints on service delivery issues.

To better prepare government officials, regulators, utility managers, and contract monitors for this important task, IP3 has designed an intensive training course titled Contract Compliance, Renegotiation, and Dispute Resolution for PPP Projects. Participants who attend this course will learn how to design, develop, and implement effective technical and financial contract compliance and reporting programs for private sector contracts in the energy, water, solid waste, information technology, transportation, municipal services, health, and housing sectors. Additionally, participants will learn how to address and even preempt situations when "projects go wrong" including renegotiation and dispute resolution strategies.

Through presentations and case studies led by expert instructors, site visits, and simulation exercises, participants are expected to apply the knowledge learned by creating their own contract compliance and reporting Action Plan for their agency.
