IPFA Webinar: Managing Public Private Partnerships after Financial Close

While attention on PPPs and concessions often focusses on the ability to attract finance and achieve financial close: less attention is usually given to the subsequent management of projects through construction and operations. If the public is to receive the full benefit of the infrastructure services that PPP projects can deliver: governments need to pay close attention to contract management. This includes ensuring that PPP contract management teams are well-resourced: and that adequate training is provided to the officials responsible for handling both day-to-day management issues: such as performance monitoring and application of payment deductions: and the significant challenges that can arise with PPP projects: such as disputes and renegotiation.
