2. Objectives & Principles
| The objective of a capacity building programme is to create an understanding among all stakeholders of how the PPP mechanism works to improve the quality and availability of infrastructure, allocate appropriate risks to the best suited stakeholder, promote innovation, ensure efficiency, and aim for effectiveness and economy at all stages of project development and implementation. |
|
| Capacity Building in PPPs ensures • Better understanding of PPP concepts and practices among stakeholders • Appreciation of issues and concerns involved in the development of PPP projects • A cordial and professional relationship among the PPP parties |
The key principles for planning of Capacity Building programmes would include the following:
• Prior assessment of the training needs of the beneficiaries through detailed discussions;
• Clear delineation of the roles and responsibilities of stakeholders involved;
• Assessment of the existing knowledge gap, expertise and areas of improvement;
• Involvement of local or regional organizations to the extent possible since they would be more sensitive to the needs of the beneficiaries and fully aware of situation on ground;
• Customization of content for different categories of programmes and use of suitable pedagogy techniques for information dissemination;
• Impact assessment or measuring effectiveness of the programme through feedback and continual improvisation of programmes.
