PPP Pre-Feasibility Analysis Training Course

 PPP Pre-Feasibility Analysis Training Course 

Introduction 

PPP Pre-Feasibility Analysis Training Course provides a practical framework for evaluating whether proposed Public-Private Partnership projects are suitable for further development. The course examines project screening, strategic alignment, demand assessment, technical viability, economic and financial analysis, affordability, value for money, risk identification, legal considerations, environmental and social factors, and preliminary bankability. Participants gain practical skills for transforming project concepts into evidence-based Public-Private Partnership investment decisions. 

The training emphasizes modern Public-Private Partnership project development, infrastructure investment, feasibility assessment, risk allocation, financial modelling, public-sector decision-making, and sustainable infrastructure delivery. Through international case studies and applied exercises, participants learn how to prepare credible pre-feasibility assessments that support investment decisions, improve project preparation, strengthen institutional capacity, and identify projects capable of progressing toward full feasibility analysis and procurement.
