PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP (PPP) FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDG) A TOOL FOR RESILIENCE AND SUSTAINABILITY

This online training course designed by the International Training Centre of the ILO (ITCILO) aims to fill the knowledge gap in the sustainability and resilience domain by presenting a comprehensive international comparative survey of PPP policies, regulatory framework and best practices. It also explores the key concepts for innovative PPP and explains how this can be applied in order to impart competence to the participants in using the potential of PPP for the achievement of sustainable development objectives. OBJECTIVES The objective of this online course is to contribute to improve capacity in the conceptualization and implementation of environmental and social considerations in PPP operations and in managing the contracts, in line with internationally accepted principles and practices. This ITCILO course aims to contribute towards optimisation of the economic and social benefits of PPP schemes, achieving successfully the SDGs and aiding to build resilient and inclusive societies and greener economies. The course explores the specific legal and managerial competencies for putting in place and managing Public Private Partnerships (PPPs), which are complex and high value contracts that governments stipulate for providing an increasing number of sustainable services. As such, the course explores the PPPs in their role to remedy the service and infrastructure gap while serving People First, an SDG goal.
