The training, conducted by our trainer Borja Rubio de la Rocha, focuses on understanding PPP Frameworks, and how to iPIHdentify, screen, appraise, prepare, and structure PPP Projects. The training is followed by an exam which tests whether the trainee has sufficient knowledge and understanding of the Guide, which is at the core of the Certification Program.

The course is part of the PPP training program launched by the PPDU in 2017 with an objective to develop the capacities of the experts working on the regional Infrastructure development programs.
Since then, K-Infra has delivered 6 CP3P trainings (3 Foundation, 2 Preparation and 1 Execution) for Ecowas PPDU. As a result, more than 100 candidates have been trained in the CP3P program improving their PPP practitioner capabilities.
From K-Infra we would like to thank ECOWAS and AGENCIA ESPAÑOLA DE COOPERACION INTERNACIONAL PARA EL DESARROLLO – AECID for embracing the CP3P program and entrusting us with the mission of these trainings.
