The PPP Center through its Capacity Building Division (CBD) strives to empower implementing agencies (IAs) with the competencies to craft well-structured public-private partnership (PPP) infrastructure development projects. This is in line with the PPP Center mandate of “providing advisory services, technical assistance, training and capacity development to agencies/ LGUs in PPP project preparation and development.”
Through a Capacity Building Framework, the CBD offers core courses relevant to the PPP program, the PPP project cycle, and the PPP process. Knowledge Sharing Sessions (KSS) for IAs are also organized to tackle topics relevant to the continued development of PPP implementation strategy in the country.
The current framework has also expanded to include special topics geared towards cascading the developments on various sectors and issues, as well as increasing the capacity building network of the PPP Center through regional and international linkages.
The Capacity Building Division implements its Capacity Building Framework through briefings, trainings, workshops, and other learning mediums scheduled throughout the year. These capacity building activities may also be customized according to the needs of the requesting party.
