The Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Center, together with the Regional Development Council – Ilocos (RDC-1), organized a two-day capacity building activity (CBA) titled Course on Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Concepts and Pre-Development Activities for the Region 1 Project Development Assistance Center (PDAC) on October 25-26, 2023, at E.M.

The activity is part of the reactivation and operationalization of the Region I PDAC formed to provide technical assistance and advisory services to implementing agencies (IAs) in the region, and provide capacity building in terms of pre-development and development activities.

As part of the workshops, the Center facilitated a walkthrough of the Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA) tool to assist IAs in screening their list of potential PPP projects, and a simulation of the PPP project concept note review process in line with the Region I PDAC’s technical advisory function.
A total of 28 PDAC members composed of local planning and development coordinators, representatives of key regional line agencies (RLAs), and technical officers from RDC-1 participated in the sessions.
