Training for accreditation as Certified PPP Advocate

MANILA, Philippines — With the massive infrastructure projects envisioned by the government under the Build Build Build program, there has been a growing demand for public-private partnership (PPP) consultants and specialists needed by organizations – both in private and public sectors – and investors to guide them and achieve success on their PPP initiatives. To address this need, the Center for Global Best Practices, in partnership with Quantum Prisms Consulting Inc. and Atty. Alberto Agra, will launch a three-module program titled, “PPP Certification Course” to be held on the following dates: June 26  and 27 (Module I); July 25 and 26 (Module II) and Aug. 29 and 30 (Module III) at the Marriott Grand Ballroom, Resorts World Complex, Pasay City.

This program would fill in the capacity gaps of PPP in the Philippines and increase the tribe of the PPP champions – those who will be at the forefront of their respective organizations’ quest for PPP projects. This special training is designed to skillfully train attending participants to become a Certified PPP Advocate™ through a ladderized-approach to master the following: Policy and Legal Framework (Module I); Technical, Financial and Environmental Aspects (Module II) and lastly, Contract, Drafting, Terms of Reference Preparation and Contract Management (Module III). Attendees completing this three-module program will have to take the final assessment to be conferred the title of a Certified PPP Advocate™. 

This learning initiative will feature Agra, one of only two in the world who is both a Certified PPP Specialist and Certified Regulation Specialist™.
