Be a Certified PPP Advocate™!

With the massive infrastructure projects envisioned by the government under the Build, Build, Build Program of the current government, there has been a growing demand for Public-Private Partnership (PPP) consultants and specialists who are 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 entitled, PPP Certification Course to be held at the Manila Marriott Hotel, Pasay City, Philippines on the following dates: 

       Thursday and Friday, October 5 & 6, 2018 (Module I)

       Thursday and Friday, November 8 & 9, 2018 (Module II) and;

       Thursday and Friday, December 6 & 7, 2018 (Module III)

Be one of the first batch of PPP Advocates! This program is addressed to fill in the capacity gaps of PPP in the Philippines and to increase the tribe of the PPP Champions – 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 to master the following: Policy and Legal Framework (Module I); Technical, Financial and Environmental Aspects (Module II) and lastly, Contract, Drafting, Terms of Reference Preparation & Contract Management (Module III). Attendees completing this three-part module will simply have to take the final assessment to confer the title of a Certified PPP Advocate™.

This learning initiative will feature Atty. Alberto C. Agra, one of the 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 -- and is now the official template of the Department of Interior and Local Government. He also developed a JV ordinance which to date, has been referred to by several cities in Metropolitan Manila.
