Course overview
Public institutions often hold long lists of infrastructure needs, but not every idea is suitable for a PPP or ready for detailed preparation.
This course provides a structured screening process for testing strategic relevance, public need, preliminary affordability, market potential, institutional readiness and major constraints before committing further resources.
Who this is for
County and national officials, contracting authorities, planning teams, infrastructure units and advisers.
Participants will be able to
- Distinguish a public need from a sufficiently defined project concept
- Apply strategic, technical, financial, legal and institutional screening criteria
- Identify early fatal flaws and information gaps
- Prioritise a project pipeline transparently
- Define the next decision gate for each shortlisted project
