PPP Regulatory Impact Assessment Training Course

 Public-Private Partnerships Regulatory Impact Assessment Training Course 

Introduction 

Public-Private Partnerships Regulatory Impact Assessment is a strategic framework for evaluating how proposed laws, regulations, policies, institutional arrangements, and regulatory reforms may influence Public-Private Partnerships, infrastructure investment, private-sector participation, public value, competition, affordability, and service delivery.
