PPP Center
29 June 2012
For the next four months, the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Center is set to conduct nine other regional orientation workshops on local PPP project development, in collaboration with regional offices of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) and Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG).
The orientation workshops are aimed to capacitate local government units (LGUs) with technical and practical skills in developing local PPP projects.
The PPP Center also offers capacity building interventions to national government agencies (NGAs), government owned and controlled corporations (GOCCs) and state universities and colleges (SUCs) for them to develop properly prepared PPP projects.
To date, the Center has conducted seven regional training workshops on PPPs with a total of 267 LGUs trained. It also has developed the LGU PPP Manual that includes three volumes on PPP concepts and framework, project preparation and development, and a compilation of template documents and sample projects on PPPs at local level. Sample project templates featured are shopping center and public market, government administrative center, and water supply system.
