Public Private Partnerships Awareness Certificate  

Empower Your Career with the essential skills to successfully champion successful Public Private Partnerships that deliver value – online, self-paced, and now subsidized to only USD 20 for accessibility!

Infrastructure is the backbone of economic growth and human development – yet the world faces an unprecedented infrastructure financing gap. Global investment in infrastructure is projected to fall short by about $1 trillion every year for the next 15 years. That’s up to a $25 trillion deficit by 2040 if we continue business-as-usual.

According to the UN, the broader sustainable development financing gap is even larger – roughly $4 trillion per year – leaving many countries without resources to invest in basics like clean water, power, and healthcare. Target 17.17 of the SDGs explicitly encourages effective public-private partnerships as part of strengthening implementation of the goals.

Why PPPs, Why Now

Strategic fit for PPPs

In the face of climate change, rapid urbanization, and fiscal constraints, Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have emerged as the strategic, urgent, and inevitable solution to modern infrastructure and financing challenges. PPPs mobilize private capital and efficiency to deliver public goods when government budgets are strained.

Relieving fiscal constraints

In fact, PPPs are typically employed when public finances are tight, allowing governments to harness private sector investment and expertise. It’s no surprise that PPPs are seeing a revival of interest as nations pursue the 2030 Agenda for the Sustainable Development Goals.

Promoting Green Growth

From renewable energy parks to smart transportation systems, PPP projects are driving innovation: since 2010, new low-carbon infrastructure PPPs have outnumbered traditional projects by over 2:1, aligning investment with climate goals.

Who should know the PPP Fundamentals?

Are you a government official dealing with limited fiscal space and massive infrastructure needs? A development finance or climate finance officer tasked with mobilizing funds for sustainable projects? A consultant or private-sector executive looking to structure bankable deals in emerging markets?
We designed it for:
  • Public Finance and Government Professionals – Budget directors, economists, and policy advisors managing public investments and seeking innovative financing models.
  • Infrastructure & Urban Development Planners – Officials and consultants in transport, energy, water, and urban sectors aiming to deliver projects through PPP frameworks.
  • Development and Climate Finance Officers – Staff at MDBs, development agencies, and climate funds responsible for resource mobilization and partnerships to achieve SDGs and climate commitments.
  • Project Finance Practitioners & Advisors – Professionals in banks, funds, or advisory firms structuring project finance deals who want to expand into PPP transactions.

Course overview

The “PPP Fundamentals - Crafting Sustainable Partnerships” is a 15-lesson, self-paced online course that demystifies the entire PPP process from inception to contract management.
