Why Choose this Training Course?

PPP governance is the system of laws, institutions, processes and controls that determines how a country selects, approves, procures and oversees Public Private Partnership projects. Strong governance is what allows a state to attract private investment while protecting the public interest, fiscal sustainability and service quality. For a supervisory or regulatory authority, institutional strength is decisive. The quality of a PPP unit, the clarity of its mandate, the rigour of its approval gateways and the transparency of its processes matter more to long term outcomes than the terms of any single deal. Countries with weak PPP institutions repeatedly experience poor project selection, fiscal surprises and contested contracts.

This PPP Governance, Institutional Strengthening and Regulatory Best Practice training course equips public sector leaders, PPP practitioners, policymakers, regulators, and institutional managers with the knowledge and practical frameworks required to establish strong governance systems that support successful Public-Private Partnership (PPP) programmes. As governments increasingly rely on PPPs to deliver infrastructure, public services, and national development priorities, the effectiveness of PPP programmes depends not only on individual projects but also on the strength of the institutions responsible for policy development, governance, regulation, oversight, and implementation. Participants will gain practical understanding of PPP governance frameworks, institutional capacity development, regulatory structures, oversight mechanisms, and organisational models that enable governments to deliver sustainable, transparent, and value-driven PPP programmes

This PetroKnowledge training course helps officials design and strengthen the institutions that govern PPPs, from the legal framework and the PPP unit through to disclosure, integrity and alignment with international best practice.
