A training course offered by the Executive Education programme at Georgetown University in Qatar (GU-Q) will provide participants with a practical hands-on learning experience in the design and implementation of public-private partnerships or PPPs.
To be held on the university’s Education City campus from November 10 to 12, 2019, the Certificate in Public-Private Partnership Advanced Course will be taught by John Buttarazzi, a PPP professional with more than 25 years of experience and a professor of practice at Georgetown University McCourt School of Public Policy in Washington, DC.
Buttarazzi has advised hundreds of US and foreign government officials on PPP matters, including the establishment of guidelines and procedures and building capacity for PPP transactions.
Rodolph Boughaba, associate dean for the Executive Education programme at GU-Q, said: “Governments are increasingly turning to the private sector to collaborate on a wide variety of service programmes and infrastructure projects. PPPs allow the public sector to benefit from commercial innovations, entrepreneurship and efficiencies in order to promote development and lower costs.”
Through the course, which he said builds on the earlier Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) Foundation course at GU-Q, participants will have the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of how to select projects based on their potential for success, how to compare the value of a PPP to traditional public sector options and how to use project finance to ensure that projects successfully meet the conditions in order to access operating funds and continue to deliver value-for-money for consumers.
