Those who attend at least three out of four workshops in the series will receive a certificate of participation.
Workshop Two: Ensuring Fiscal Affordability of PPPs
The second workshop in the series will highlight lessons learned on ensuring the fiscal affordability of PPPs. It will cover fiscal commitments in the current environment of high indebtedness levels, contingent liabilities arising from PPPs, and the World Bank PPP Fiscal Risk Management Tool (PFRAM).
The workshop series is tailored for staff from PPP units, ministries of finance and planning, project developers, and PPP practitioners from Africa, the Middle East and North Africa, and Asia. Staff from International Financial Institutions, national infrastructure and development banks, and emerging market financiers, as well as interested stakeholders, are also encouraged to participate.
The workshop series sessions will be held virtually. Speaker presentations, case studies, and discussions will be conducted in English.
Participants will engage through small group discussions, quick-answer apps, and question and answer sessions at the end of each panel discussion.
Video recordings of select workshop content will be uploaded on the MCDF website. Complete workshop video recordings and featured presentations will be made available on MCDF’s digital platform, JIGSAW.
