Course Learning Objectives

A value for money (VfM) analysis consists of a systematic comparison of total costs and financing of delivering an infrastructure project by traditional government means verses private sector means. For a government, there is no single more important exercise than carrying out this transparent "cost comparator".

Governments must understand early in a potential PPP project development the potential costs and revenue streams so they can make an informed, long-term decision as to whether the project is viable or not, and if so, whether the government or the private sector should finance it.

IP3's course on Value for Money (VfM), Public Sector Cost Comparison and Risk Analysis Techniques for PPP Project Structuring is designed to assist government agencies, PPP Units, transaction advisors, project developers, and bankers develop systematic value for money analyses for a variety of infrastructure sectors. Through practical, process-oriented sessions on how to conduct value for money analysis, case studies of actual VfM analysis, site visits to government agencies analyzing and structuring PPPs, and action planning, participants in this course will learn how to design and manage VfM analysis to utilize in their own countries and organizations.

Course Content
Module I:	Strategic Planning for Effective Value-for-Money Analysis Understanding the role of PSC & VFM analysis within the PPP project life-cycle Identifying the key factors driving value for money analysis: feasibility, affordability, sustainability, and best value Does a viable public sector option exist? Determining whether PSC & VfM is applicable or not Case examples from the accommodation, transportation, energy, water, health, education, and other infrastructure sectors
Module II:	Estimating, Analyzing, and Comparing Base Public Sector Cost (PSC) Elements Designing the Public Sector Cost Comparison model Calculating the elements of base public costs: construction, whole-life maintenance, rehabilitation, insurance and risk premiums Understanding & estimating the different revenue streams for different types of projects Estimating public sector financing costs & selecting the appropriate public discount rate
Module III:	PPP Risk Analysis: Constructing the Risk-Adjusted Public Sector Cost (RA-PSC) Comparator The PPP Risk Matrix: Identifying and understanding all relevant project risks Project Risk estimation: using historic public risk data vs. estimates for public sector risk adjustments Advanced statistical techniques for analyzing risk scenarios: Understanding Monte Carlo Simulations Constructing PPP Reference Estimates: Analyzing private sector risk management & costs for retained public sector risks
Module IV:	Managing the Value for Money Analysis Process Comparing Risk-Adjusted Public Sector Cost estimates with PPP Bids: Value for Money Using VfM analysis to strengthen project viability: identifying needs for PPP risk-sharing and credit enhancements Understanding & analyzing how traditional government finance is different from private sector project finance Valuing public sector risk-sharing and contingent liabilities in PPP projects
Module V:	Site Visits and Meetings
Module VI:	Action Planning Prior to completing the course, IP3 requires participants to complete an Action Plan detailing how they will apply their new knowledge and skills on-the-job. IP3 has developed a four-step process to guide participants in developing their action plans. Our expert faculty members conducts several action-planning sessions throughout the course to assist each participant to develop his/her plan. On the last day of the course, each participant will present his/her action plan to the group for peer review and comments.
