GOAL
Provide a contextualized training on the theory and applications of municipal public-private partnerships to the representatives of the Europe & CIS
Objectives
• Develop a 3-day PPP training program• Provide training materials:
– developing a model program– adapting the PPPUE Toolkit to the regional
needs– illustrating material with the regional examples
• Use different training techniques– to stimulate the training effect– to equip the trainees with necessary for their
future activities methods
A broader objective: • Make participants both trainers and
knowledgeable partners in development projects
Background work 1/2
• Toolkit for pro-poor municipal PPP (UNDP PPPUE, 2004)
• Review of the national policies, legislative and institutional environments for the establishment of municipal PPPs in 5 sub-regions of the Europe and CIS
• 5 case studies from selected countries in the 5 sub-regions
Background work 2/2
• Web-based distance learning toolkit: “Key Issues of Private Sector Participation in the Water Sector for Practical Application”. Global Campus 21
Project http://www.gc21.de, 2003• Study “Private Sector
Participation in the Water Sector in the ECA region”, 2003
Approach:TRAIN-THE-TRAINERS
• a group of people with relevant experience
• train them in the subject• provide with training materials• show training approaches and
methodologies
Multiplying effect: each trainee will hold at least one training in his/her country– on-going support and mentoring of the
trainees activities
Targeted trainees group
• Professionals who– are associated with a local
training institution– have experience in providing
training to the professionals– possess some knowledge of the
municipal services provision– excellent possession of English
and the local languages
Targeted local trainees group
• Local professionals from all sectors
• Involved in municipal services provision
• Willing to learn and apply the PPP instrument
Approach: PREPARATION 1/2
• Syllabus – wardrobe with hangers– All parts could be “taken out”
•physically and•contextually
• Heavily based on the Toolkit– The trainee can refer to it if s/he
does not have sufficient knowledge on a particular topic
Approach: PREPARATION 1/2
• Needs Assessment Questionnaire (NAQ)– Tool helping the trainer to identify
the background of the trainees– Emailed prior to the training– Feedback helps to
• account for the trainees’ backgrounds and interests
• insure that the training meets the needs of the audience: neither simple nor complicated
• emphasize during the training the areas of specific country/region concern
Approach: IMPLEMENTATION
• Active learning approach– Focus on Learning not Teaching
• Guided discussion not lecturing• Portfolio development Time allocated
for contemplating and applying knowledge and skills to the local context
• Reach on different training methods• Group work
– Groups divided based on the NAQ• Similar experiences• Different experiences
– Trainees learn from each other
• Interactive – constant feedback of the audience: formal and informal
• Workshop valuation at the end of each day in order to– better reflect the trainees’ needs
and adjust the training emphasis accordingly
– involve the trainees in the learning process
Approach: FEEDBACK and EVALUATION
Expected results
• 15 people trained to be trainers in municipal PPPS
• Each trainee will be able to:– Adapt and conduct a similar
training to the local players – Provide consolations to the local
actors about a possibility, necessary preparations, challenges and solutions for the PPP projects

Before PPPs
• Starting out– Why develop capacity for PPPs?– Why Public-Private Partnerships? – Overview of PPP definitions and
perceptions– Key features of successful
partnerships– Major gaps in forming a
successful partnership• Strategic planning
Preparation
• Planning and organizing • Collecting information • Defining objectives • Defining parameters (scope) • PPP constraints • PPP principles
Development
• Identifying partners • Establishing partnership
processes• Selecting PPP options• Sources of financing• Cost recovery strategies• Preparing business plans• Regulating the PPP
Implementation
• Tendering and procurement• Negotiating and contracting• Managing PPPs• Renegotiation • Monitoring and evaluation • Managing conflict
Questions for guided discussion:
1. What are the existing advantages for PPPs in the region?
2. What are the potential pitfalls for PPPs in the region?
3. What are the driving forces shaping the PPP development in the region? What is the role that the UNDP CO office can play?
4. What would be the strategy for creating enabling environment for pro-poor municipal PPPs in your sub-region?
