 Public-Private Partnerships for Economic Corridors Training Course 

Introduction 

Public-Private Partnerships for Economic Corridors Training Course provides an advanced framework for understanding how governments, private investors, development finance institutions, infrastructure operators, and other stakeholders can collaborate to plan, finance, develop, operate, and maintain integrated economic corridors. The course explores strategic infrastructure planning, corridor development, investment structuring, project finance, risk allocation, transport connectivity, logistics systems, trade facilitation, regional integration, and sustainable infrastructure development. Participants will examine how Public-Private Partnerships can mobilize private capital and technical expertise to accelerate major transport, energy, logistics, industrial, and digital infrastructure projects.
