Building capacities among the officials of the public entity and the private partner helps to make project development, a relatively easier and smoother experience. It is useful for all the stakeholders associated with project development to be aware and familiar with the concepts and practices of PPPs. The Government of India, through the Department of Economic Affairs, has been actively involved in issuing guidance materials on several concepts and practices pertaining to PPP. Of its many initiatives, one is the national level capacity building programme on PPPs to build the capabilities of central and State level officers for executing PPPs. The large scale nation-wide capacity building programme was successfully completed in March 2014.
