Course Highlights
The course combines the strengths of each partner – InfraAsia’s connections with the regional infrastructure ecosystems, SMU’s industry collaborative networks, and the WBG’s global development expertise. Called “Growing Infrastructure – Enabling & Structuring for Private Sector Participation in Finance and Innovation”, it aims to support regional infrastructure development and raise participants’ awareness of solutions from Singapore-based companies. In particular, it will equip participants with the knowledge and skills to create a regulatory environment that is friendly towards private sector involvement in infrastructure.
Who Should Attend
Senior and mid-level decision makers and policymakers in the infrastructure sector, from South and Southeast Asia.
For this upcoming run, InfraAsia is inviting government officials working on Clean Energy projects to apply.
Selection Criteria
All registered participants will go through a selection process by InfraAsia before receiving confirmation to attend the course. Application to the course does not constitute a guaranteed admission.
Course Objectives
Public Private Partnership
(PPP) Certification
The PPP Certification, organised through the APM Group (APMG) PPP Foundation Certification, aims to foster a common minimum level of knowledge and understanding amongst individuals working on PPPs, create consistency in the usage of PPP terms, and standardise the process for the delivery of PPP projects. The PPP Foundation Certification is the first stage of the APMG PPP Certification Program. Module 1 will be done via APMG certification.
Clean Energy
With climate change and the urgency to meet net-zero carbon targets, governments need to develop strategies, policies and plans for the energy transition. The infrastructure sectors in several developing countries face numerous challenges in mobilizing resources to meet the new sustainability goals. This module aims to provide participants with practical perspectives on clean energy including mechanisms such as green bonds, PPPs, carbon tax, carbon markets, offsets and credits. Case studies will provide participants with the tools to analyse the varied policies, sources of finance as well as the economic, environmental, and social impacts.
Integrating New and Innovative Technologies
This module will provide an opportunity for participants to develop a deeper understanding of how new and innovative technologies can bring efficiencies, service improvements and sustainable solutions. Through selected case studies, participants will learn how governments can use PPPs to finance and implement climate friendly technologies in electricity generation, transportation and green buildings. Participants will engage with private and public sector leaders to discuss the opportunities as well as challenges.
