Training program for PPP certification

With the massive infrastructure projects envisioned by the government under the Build Build Build program, there has been a growing demand for public private partnership (PPP) consultants and specialists needed by organizations – both by the private and public sectors – and investors to guide them and achieve success on their PPP initiatives.

The Center for Global Best Practices (CGBP), in partnership with Quantum Prisms Consulting Inc. (QPCI) and Atty. Alberto Agra, will launch a three-module program titled, “PPP Certification Course” to be held on Oct. 5 and 6 (Module 1); Nov. 8 and 9 (Module II) and Dec. 6 and 7 (Module III) at the Manila Marriott Hotel, Pasay City.

This program is addressed to fill in the capacity gaps of PPP in the Philippines and to increase the tribe of the PPP advocates – who will be at the forefront of their respective organizations’ quest for PPP projects. This program is designed to skillfully train attending participants to become a Certified PPP Advocate through a ladderized-approach.

This learning initiative will feature Atty. Alberto Agra, one of only two in the world who is both a Certified PPP Specialist and Certified Regulation Specialist™. He drafted a proposed PPP Code / Ordinance for LGUs which to date has been adopted by 81 LGUs in the Philippines. He was also part of the team who developed the 2008 NEDA JV Guidelines. Currently, he is chairman of the Philippine Reclamation Authority and is a PPP, local government professor and political law bar reviewer at Ateneo Law School.
