Background

Development in infrastructure has become one of the most pressing challenges for accelerating economic development and social progress, especially in Asia-Pacific countries. As globalism and regionalism ensues, tremendous private capital can be tapped for infrastructure projects. PPP has become an important mechanism for responding to the challenges of infrastructure development. PPP offers a viable alternative to traditional procurement methods to support infrastructure development. PPP expands public infrastructure supply, improves service quality, maximizes the use of private sector capital and know-how, lowers lifecycle costing of a project and alleviates budget constraints through sharing of risks and responsibilities.

In order to summarize and share experience on“PPP model”, AFDI plans to launch a Case Study-Oriented Blended Learning Program on this topic in 2015 in collaboration with the World Bank and other GDLN affiliates to tap the opportunities and challenges for the Newly-Emerged Economies.

Target audience

·    Government officials in charge of PPP infrastructure projects.

·    Representatives from civil society, academia, and private sector.

·    Staff from the financial and development agencies.

Participants who work in related fields such as government departments or research institutions and successfully complete all the phases including mobile learning community participation, videoconferencing seminars, discussions and assignments will be eligible to be invited and funded to attend a five-day face-to-face learning program in Shanghai, China in the second half of 2015.
