APMG International is pleased to announce that Foundation Level PPP Guide, Training, and Exam taking is now available in Serbian, thanks to the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) support. The PPP Guide is a FREE downloadable resource to help candidates prepare for the PPP Certification Program. The version in Serbian has been promoted at the today’s 2nd Serbian Public Private Partnership Conference in Belgrade https://www.pppconference.rs
The Serbian language translation was organised by IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, with the support of SECO. “This in-depth certification program builds on a vast pool of international experience in PPPs to equip public officials with the knowledge they need to develop and manage PPPs,” said Georgi Petrov, Regional Manager for IFC’s PPP Transaction Advisory Services department. “Adopting internationally recognized good practice will help national and municipal governments in Serbia deliver projects effectively and efficiently and increase the attractiveness of the country’s PPP program to investors.”
SECO supports the language adaptation of the PPP Guide into to enhance PPPs which are based on international standards and increased private sector participation developments in ECA.
Jordan Schwartz, Director of the Infrastructure Finance, PPPs & Guarantees Group of the World Bank, said, “With Serbian translation, the PPP Certification Program has now been translated to seven languages, addressing the growing need for high-quality knowledge-sharing in PPPs. We’re very proud of the program—which strengthens global capacity to design and implement sustainable PPPs—and this translation makes it accessible to even more practitioners.”
Matthew Jordan-Tank, Head of Infrastructure Project Preparation Facility (IPPF) at EBRD, said “EBRD places a distinct focus on the importance of knowledge transfer and capacity building for our client countries . At the end of the day, this is the pathway to sustainable PPP delivery — when a critical mass of professionals at the local level understand the concepts, structures and language of PPPs, countries will begin to ramp up their delivery of PPP investments. We consider the MDB-supported PPP Certification training course with APMG to be a critical point of EBRD’s capacity building efforts, and are pleased to support Serbia in this effort.”
The PPP Certification Program comprises three examinations: Foundation, Preparation and Execution, and the Foundation exam is a pre-requisite for sitting the two higher level exams. Chapter 1 of the PPP Guide and the Glossary are the core reading materials for candidates taking the Foundation Level exam.
Since the launch of the PPP Certification Program in English, the Foundation exam and PPP Guide have been translated into Spanish, French, Chinese, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian and Serbian.
