To meet the consistent demand for introductory knowledge on public-private partnerships (PPPs) in the Philippines, the PPP Center is expanding its suite of capacity building offerings through the launch of its E-Learning Modules this December.

The E-Learning platform is seen to complement the Center’s Online Capacity Building Activities (OCBA) and in-person training program and is open to all implementing agencies, which includes national government agencies (NGA), government-owned-and-controlled corporations (GOCCs), local government units (LGUs), water districts (WDs), state universities and colleges (SUCs), and institutional partners of the PPP Center.

The five-module platform is designed for self-paced learning where short animated videos and document references replace the traditional lecture arrangement. Assessments are implemented at the end of each module to ensure learning has taken place.

Once learners complete all the E-Learning Modules, they are expected to have understood the concepts and processes involve in the Philippine PPP program; applied learned PPP concepts and processes to successfully execute each stage of the Project Life Cycle based on the agency type and in accordance with the Legal Framework on PPPs; and have taken into consideration the lessons learned and best practices collected from previously awarded PPPs.
