Paraclete training and institutional capability work

Course overview

Pre-feasibility is the bridge between an attractive idea and a defensible decision to invest in full project preparation. Weak early analysis allows unsuitable projects to consume time and advisory budgets.

This course shows participants how to frame the public need, test options, identify demand and technical assumptions, examine delivery models, map approvals and define the studies required for the next phase.

Who this is for

Project sponsors, sector departments, planning and finance teams, contracting authorities, project-development facilities and advisers.

Participants will be able to

  • Prepare a proportionate pre-feasibility scope
  • Test delivery options and preliminary PPP suitability
  • Identify demand, technical, environmental, social and land information needs
  • Assess institutional and approvals readiness
