Mastering PPP project analysis, financing, contracts & transaction management techniques

Infocus International is delighted to bring one of their best virtual workshops,  Public-Private Partnership (PPP)  that will be set to commence  17 August 2026 . We need new infrastructure. Roads, airports, schools, hospitals and housing: the list is enormous and growing. Yet severely limited budgets, economic uncertainty caused by volatile commodity prices, and deficits continue to prevent government at all levels from delivering the kinds of structural change that has always been needed. In response, some countries have developed successful PPP programmes. Merely grasping the concepts of PPP does not do justice to our great responsibility of having an ownership in the country’s future. We already know what we need to do, now is the time to really discover HOW. One of our participants from  Electricity Generation Company (Malawi) Ltd  shared that, “ The facilitator was very knowledgeable on the subject matter, very responsive to questions and innovative in the delivery of the PPP training program. The knowledge gained will assist me in productive participation in ongoing and planned PPP Projects in my country.” Another participant from  PNG Ports Corporation  also mentioned that,  “This is an excellent course for anyone involved in PPP. Highly recommended.” Benefits of Attending • Use best practices from international case studies of successful PPP transactions and common practical pitfalls to avoid • Design and manage PPP legal, regulatory & institutional frameworks to attract investors and complete PPP transactions • Apply models for the efficient design and completion of PPP feasibility studies • Understand project financing requirements and evaluate PPP financial models for both affordability and bankability • Evaluate and apply different credit enhancement techniques to ensure PPP bankability, including blended financing, viability gap funding (VGF), partial guarantees, risk insurance products, output-based aid (OBA) and other financial instruments • Design PPP transaction implementation plans and manage & oversee PPP transaction advisors for reaching commercial closure and financial closure • Models for PPP tender documents, including PPP Project Information Memoranda (“InfoMemos”), Requests for Qualifications (RFQs), Requests for Proposals (RFPs) • International models for designing and drafting PPP contracts & agreements • Environmental & social impact mitigation techniques to structure sustainable private investments in public infrastructure • Plans for managing sustainable PPP contracts including ensuring technical performance, quality of service delivery, price review & adjustment regulatory models, legal contract management and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) techniques Want to learn more?

Deploying Big Data Analysis to Develop IoT Solutions

Data from various sources forms the basic foundation of businesses. In the present times, the improvement of connectivity in the IoT space has resulted in the transfer of huge chunks of data. Therefore, there is a need for big data analytics in IoT in order to address the challenges related to management of large-scale, through the data pipeline architecture. To begin with, data pipeline is the process concerned with the movement of data through an organization. Once data enters into an organization, the stage is referred to as data ingestion. Next in the process is the stage of data transportation from the data ingestion stage to the other stage is known as data collector. Followed by this, the data moves through the processing stage wherein appropriate measures are taken to store it. Data storage stage steps up to the data query stage where it is analyzed through interactive queries. The final stage is concerned with valid presentation of data in different forms of business infographics, such as graphs or statistics. Data generated in the IoT space requires a data management system with the following qualities: •  It should be adapted to manage and process a huge number of data sources, keeping pace with the continuous increase of IoT devices. •  The data management system must have a prompt response time in order to notify the concerned segment of the business in case of failures while processing or storing data. •  The system must be able to scale data on multiple parameters such as a number of devices, storage, and messages. •  Diversity and flexibility are required to process use cases and simultaneously accommodate new use cases. •  The data management system should be cost-effective. All the above criteria suggest that IoT requires interacting with big data analytics tools in order to manage such big chunks of data. ...Read more
