Course Introduction
Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), including Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT) models, have become essential tools for governments to deliver infrastructure efficiently while leveraging private sector expertise and funding. However, designing and implementing successful PPPs requires a deep understanding of structuring, risk allocation, contract design, and long-term performance management.
This intensive 5-day course equips public and private sector professionals with the knowledge and practical tools to structure, negotiate, and implement PPP and BOOT contracts in sectors such as energy, transport, water, and social infrastructure. Participants will explore project lifecycle planning, financial modeling, risk allocation, and dispute prevention using real-world examples.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
• Understand PPP frameworks, models, and international best practices
• Structure BOOT contracts from project concept to transfer
• Analyze and allocate risks between public and private stakeholders
• Evaluate financial and legal viability of PPP proposals
• Draft and review key contract clauses in PPP agreements
• Monitor PPP performance and manage post-award obligations
