  Public Private Partnership (PPP) training

The global need for infrastructure investment in the OECD and BRIC countries, in the period up to 2030 is estimated to be US$ 5 trillion. With public resources limited and constrained by public debt policies, Public Private Partnership can provide an excellent instrument to meet investment needs through private funding. Although private financing comes at a cost, PPP can enable governments to establish infrastructure ambitions in an effective and efficient manner, while spreading their spending over longer periods of time. Various studies have shown that PPPs are effective in delivering projects on time and within budget. As PPPs are complex, it is important for all stakeholders, both public and private, to acquire up to date understanding and skills.

ECORYS is one of the leading European consultancy organisations in the field of Public Private Partnerships. In order to contribute pro-actively to knowledge dissemination and understanding of PPP, we have brought together our research and advisory experience to offer training courses that familiarise participants with PPP and instruments to further develop PPP policy and projects.

Our key strength is that we incorporate state of the art experiences from our ongoing PPP advisory work. Our training offer covers a general introduction to the principles of PPP, in-depth training on the development of PPP projects and financial modelling for PPP projects, as well as the development of PPP strategies and policies for countries or regions. Training on PPP project and strategy development is tailored to specific sectors, including roads, railways, ports, but also "social infrastructure", such as hospitals, schools and government buildings.

Our tailor-made courses are useful for:

  • Officials from National Ministries and regional and local authorities
  • Private sector stakeholders
  • Stakeholders from financial institutions, construction companies, transportation companies
  • Employees attached to multilateral or bilateral international organizations
