Short Description:
This training program is a must-have class introducing the fundamentals of the interconnection between the
Government’s public policies and all stakeholders. Being the main instrument to respond to diverse public
challenges, there appear to be an increase in quantity and complexity that this course tries to address. This
program provides participants with a general overview of the topic divided into two modules: 1. Module 1
addresses Government’s public policy analysis and focus on introducing the various approaches to
policymaking, including public policy theories, ideologies and contexts thus having a better understanding of
what governments do. 2. Module 2 identifies the underlying best practices in PPP formats (Public-Private-
Partnership) and how they have evolved in this process The concept of PPP obligates a more collaborative
relationship between both sectors, fostered by openness and trust. This presents a major shift from the
traditional arms-length approach to procuring services and executing projects. Well designed, feasible
relationships between the government and all the stakeholders attract greater interest amongst potential
investors and demonstrate the potential benefits to moving forward.
