1About the Event

INTRODUCTIONAsia’s transportation funding needs remain immense. According to the Asian Development Bank, Asia as a whole needs to invest US$14tn by 2030 to resolve a serious transport infrastructure deficit to keep pace with the rapid growth of economies, population and urbanization. Many of these economies are now embracing Public Private Partnerships as an alternative to traditional public financing and procurement methods to deliver road and surface transport programs. Earlier this year, Chinese authorities signaled they would promote the use of PPP contracts in countries involved in its Belt and Road infrastructure initiative, representing a major turning point for China and the region.

In partnership with the China Highway & Transportation Society and the China Academy of Transportation Sciences, the International Road Federation is sponsoring a three-day PPP training program lead by renowned international practitioner with experience in the public and private sectors planning and delivering PPP projects in North America, Europe and Asia.

The program will involve presentations, case studies and discussions covering the PPP process and enabling environments for planning and implementing projects, public and private sector roles and functions, project risk assessment and proper allocation of risks, available tools to assess the financial viability of PPP projects, contractual relationships and conflict mitigation factors.

LEARNING OUTCOMESThe program is designed to provide attendees with the knowledge of PPP projects from the planning stage of a project through screening, value-for-money and risk analysis, procurement documentation development and procedures, bid evaluation, achieving Financial Close, and discussing operations phase roles, activities and non-conformance mitigation and resolution.
