Course Overview

• The financing of infrastructure represents a major opportunity and challenge given the scale of potential infrastructure development as a result of non-availability of essential infrastructure coupled with paucity of funds. Traditional methods of financing infrastructure projects are no longer sufficient to finance Infrastructure projects, leading to increased use of Public Private Partnerships, and development of Infrastructure Funds as potential sources of funds. There has also been a change in approach in recent years about "risk sharing", "accountability" and "Value for Money" resulting in changes in how services for public sector users are procured and performance evaluated. This programme will provide participants with a sound understanding of the key issues in Infrastructure finance so that they can develop a clear understanding of the factors influencing the choice of financing methods for infrastructure projects; the motivations of the parties involved; risk evaluation and allocation; capital structuring issues; and lessons from the past. This 5-day workshop will provide participants with an enhanced understanding of the financing and structuring of infrastructure transactions focusing on:
Need for infrastructure in many developing economies to support economic growth
