Africa continues to be a beacon of hope for the global markets. Balancing the growth agenda with a risk conscious mind-set has become a management norm for most CEOs and CFOs.

They must possess a 360 -degree view on how to protect their business in the changing environment: the unprecedented number and scale of ever-evolving regulatory reforms, more sophisticated customer base and tighter control on the access to capital.

The key in unlocking the real potential of Africa lies in its infrastructure. Merely grasping the concepts of PPP does not do justice to our great responsibility of having an ownership in Africa's future. We already know what we need to do, now is the time to really discover HOW. Successful PPPs have one thing in common; a solid and sound structure fuelled by interdependence from all stakeholders involved. Besides a shared vision, we require the knowledge and the capacity to MAKE IT HAPPEN.

This master class aims to do just that. Beginning with an in-depth understanding of how PPPs and project finance works, to contract structure all the way to financial structuring and risk analysis, we seek to push our participants to innovate with group exercises and discussions.
