Co-organized by the Multilateral Cooperation Center for Development Finance (MCDF), Egyptian Ministry of Finance, African Development Bank, Asian Development Bank, Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility (PPIAF), World Bank, and World Association of PPP Units and Professionals (WAPPP), the 2025 workshop series will provide valuable knowledge and opportunities to build practical skills tailored for public-private partnership (PPP) units and professionals in Africa, the Middle East and North Africa, and Asia. Following the success of the inaugural workshop series, the 2025 workshop series will address niche and emerging topics, emphasizing knowledge sharing from experienced PPP units in developing countries, and incorporating expertise from International Financial Institutions (IFIs).
The first session in the workshop series will focus on the infrastructure needs of developing countries which are in many cases small-scale projects that require approaches appropriate for their size. The session will review emerging practices to enable small-scale PPPs to be delivered in a cost-effective manner.
The workshop series will be delivered virtually in 2 to 2.5-hour sessions, held approximately every month. Speaker presentations, case studies, and discussions will be conducted in English.
Presentations and related knowledge products will be uploaded on MCDF’s website and JIGSAW platform.
Participants will engage through small group discussions, quick-answer apps, and question and answer sessions at the end of each panel discussion.
The workshop series is targeted at staff from PPP units, ministries of finance and planning, project developers, and PPP practitioners from Africa, the Middle East and North Africa, and Asia. Financiers, including IFIs, national infrastructure and development banks, and emerging market financiers, will also be invited to participate.
