Course Description

On December 5, President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. finally signed into law the "Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Act of the Philippines" or RA 11966.

This new code changes the legal landscape where the private sector can collaborate with government for infrastructure and development projects. This integrates various PPP schemes at the national and local government levels; streamlines requirements, procedures and regulatory approvals for all PPP projects; clarifies ambiguities in the existing BOT Law; and improves ease of doing business for PPPs.

In this half-day training session, we will walk you through these provisions and give you a clearer view of the new opportunities and challenges the law brings.

In addition, we will answer your questions including: What are the PPP schemes? Must all PPP projects--national and local--be approved by NEDA? Are unsolicited proposals still allowed? What are the forms of allowable government undertakings, contribution and support for PPP projects? Are contract variations allowed? What is the role of the PPP Center?

Learn, unlearn and relearn PPPs under the new act. Register now!
