Introduction

Public-Private Partnerships Insurance and Guarantees Training Course provides a comprehensive understanding of risk allocation, insurance structures, guarantees, credit enhancement, financial protection, and contingent liabilities within Public-Private Partnerships projects. The course examines how governments, project sponsors, lenders, insurers, guarantors, and other stakeholders can structure effective risk-transfer mechanisms that improve project bankability, protect public finances, strengthen investor confidence, and support sustainable infrastructure development. Participants explore project risk assessment, insurance requirements, guarantee instruments, contractual protections, political risk insurance, credit guarantees, performance guarantees, construction insurance, operational insurance, and financial risk mitigation strategies.

The course also develops practical capabilities for designing and evaluating insurance and guarantee frameworks across infrastructure, energy, transport, water, healthcare, telecommunications, and other Public-Private Partnerships sectors. Through international case studies, financial scenarios, risk allocation exercises, and practical applications, participants learn how to identify insurable and non-insurable risks, assess guarantee requirements, evaluate coverage adequacy, manage claims, monitor contingent liabilities, and strengthen contractual safeguards. The programme integrates emerging trends in infrastructure finance, climate resilience, blended finance, sustainable investment, credit enhancement, and risk-based Public-Private Partnerships governance.
