AP3 PPP Masterclass: Essentials of Project Preparation

The AP3 PPP Masterclass is a 5-day expert-led capacity-building programme on Essentials of PPP Project Preparation designed specifically for public and private sector practitioners in Africa tasked with mobilizing private sector funding for public infrastructure.

By participating in this program, attendees will be equipped to:

1. Understand the core principles and benefits of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs).
2. Identify critical success factors and competences for successful PPP implementation.
3. Employ strategies for screening, prioritizing and structuring projects to ensure bankability.
4. Integrate people-centered approaches into the development of PPPs.
5. Develop climate-smart PPPs that are sustainable and aligned with the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)
6. Identify funding sources for project preparation.

Private-Public Partnerships (PPPs) have increasingly been proposed as a powerful tool for governments to bridge the gap between public needs and limited public resources with mixed success.

Through AP3’s work supporting a range of DFI, government and private sector clients in Africa and beyond, we have established that successful PPP implementation requires a strong understanding of the process, best practice lessons learned from both successful and failed projects, and the specific considerations for each project type.

Where successful, PPPs can mobilize private sector investment and expertise to provide much-needed infrastructure and public services. It can transform government departments and contracting authorities from being owners and operators of assets into highly competent purchasers of services from the private sector. However, with more than 110 countries competing for PPP funding and expertise, success depends on the development of public and private sector capacity and understanding of PPP.
