2nd Global Public-private Partnership Conference To Be Held At Golden Tulip Kumasi, Ghana

Accra, 1 May, 2015 — C-NERGY Global Holdings (an investment advisory services firm registered in South Africa) in partnership with the Ministry of Finance & Economic Planning of the Government of Ghana is organizing the second Global Public-Private Partnership Conference in Ghana from 4-7 May, 2015 at the Golden Tulip Hotel, Kumasi.

The conference which is under the theme “Building Capacity to Support Local Infrastructure Development through Public-Private Partnership” seeks to strengthen the skill sets within the district assemblies across the sub-region to implement PPP projects seamlessly for accelerated development.

The conference is positioned to broaden practical knowledge and skills of key participants and to provide hands on practice that demystifies the structuring of PPPs in the sub-region on the back of the broad legislative and institutional framework that has been developed within the last couple of years. Its key objectives are:

• First, to build on the experiences shared in the previous year’s conference and to assess how far the country has come in implementing the key projects identified and to address bottlenecks that impede the smooth implementation of PPPs at all levels. It will further offer a range of international investors and private sector participants, direct insight into the infrastructure investment priorities and the economic development vision of the Government of Ghana.
• Secondly, to provide senior public officials in Ghana, (and in the ECOWAS region), the opportunity to gain practical knowledge on the formulation and implementation of Public-Private Partnerships in the hope of igniting a proactive wave of proposals and initiatives from related sectors.
• Thirdly, to share the international experiences of other countries with the view that their lessons learnt will provide guidance to the district assemblies especially, as it seeks to accelerate on the Public-Private Partnership path to bridge the infrastructure gap.

The conference has been structured in two parts. The first part is a scene-setting session with the Key Note address from Policy makers, Ministry of Finance and Industry experts articulating government policy and direction with respect to PPPs as a viable alternative funding approach for infrastructure development. The second part of the conference will be training and workshop sessions on the key sectors of interest to local government authorities including markets, car parks, sanitation and educational infrastructure. These case study sessions will be led by both international and local facilitators. During these sessions delegates will be grouped into the key sector areas of interest to review sector case studies to give them the practical experience needed.
