Joint CDIA-PPP Center Workshop for 2017

The PPP Center and the Cities Development Initiative for Asia (CDIA) conducted a planning workshop on March 20-21, 2017 that tackled its proposed joint activities for 2017. Mr. Herwig Langthaler, an expert on organizational development from CDIA, facilitated the workshop. Through the workshop, gaps were identified and quick solutions were proposed to better assist Philippine cities to pursue their PPP infrastructure projects.

The areas that were discussed included 1) Financial Modelling Training and 2) Updating of PPP Manual for Philippine cities, which are the two milestones to be delivered based on the Joint CDIA-PPPC Work plan for 2017.

CDIA is an international partnership initiative established in 2007 by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Government of Germany with additional core funding support from the governments of Austria, Sweden, Switzerland, and the Shanghai Municipal Government. The Initiative provides assistance to medium-sized Asian cities to bridge the gap between their development plans and the implementation of their infrastructure investments.
