PPP Institutional Capacity Support and Training
Description of project
| The project aimed to support the Republic of Zambia in enhancing the capabilities of its key ministries and agencies for effective planning, structuring, and monitoring of Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) in the road sector. It focused on developing institutional capacities to increase private sector involvement in infrastructure, motivated by the need for quality infrastructure and limited public funding exacerbated by the recent pandemic. |
