The first CP3P Professional level training course (Preparation level) in Russian language was organised by IFC, and delivered by PPP Experts Ltd,to the PPP Development Agency Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
Sarvar Tilabov, Leading Specialist, PPP Development Agency Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Uzbekistan commented upon the training, “We particularly value that apart from the skilful delivery of the CP3P syllabus to a 100% pass rate for both exams, the accredited trainer Sergey Samolis and his colleagues provided so much more valuable knowledge on PPPs, project finance and mega project management to the programme participants. Using in-depth local case studies, taking advantage of their profound experience in PPPs and making it a highly enjoyable and exciting experience, APMG CP3P training became an important factor for moulding the first generation of PPP professionals in Uzbekistan”.
Tilabov continues, “The understanding of PPPs and skills that the first cohort of CP3P professionals in Uzbekistan developed helped many of them in terms of career progress, putting them in critically important positions for the development of the PPP framework and driving first PPP projects in Uzbekistan. We are confident that the CP3P programme is the best vehicle for enhancing the public sector capacity for delivery of PPPs efficiently in our country.
Moreover, we admire how quickly and efficiently IFC, PPP Experts, and APMG rose to the challenge of the COVID-19 crisis and enabled the online competition of the CP3P Preparation training and exam for the Government of Uzbekistan”, says Tilabov.
In 2019-2020 all 42 delegates from Uzbekistan successfully passed the CP3P Foundation exam, and 19 of them also completed successfully the Preparation training and passed the exam. Accredited Trainer Sergey Samolis said, “The APMG Certification Program has proved to be a valuable tool for building PPP capacity in emerging markets. We delivered Russian language CP3P training courses of the first two levels to circa 150 participants from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Ukraine and Uzbekistan with 100% exam success rate. Now that the Execution level materials are also available in Russian, we hope to see many fully certified PPP Professionals in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.”
One of the Preparation course participants with prior PPP experience - Remir Mukumov was Senior Advisor to the Minister of Finance, who put together two learning cohorts and provided valuable insights during the Uzbekistan Preparation level training, linking the CP3P Guide recommendations with the context of Uzbekistan PPP framework and nascent projects pipleline. "It is really rewarding to see the CP3P learning almost instantly used by course participants in real PPP projects," says Mukumov. He continues, "For each course the trainer and candidates establish chat groups, which stay very much alive after the course is over. We respond to our graduates' questions, they share career updates, discuss PPPs and look for work opportunites. Basically, it is a vibrant international community of Russian-speaking certified PPP professionals."
“The adoption of the APMG PPP Certification Program in Russian will go far to help practitioners deliver maximum value for money throughout the PPP lifecycle,” said Imad Fakhoury, Director of Infrastructure Finance, PPPs & Guarantees at the World Bank. He continued, “We’re pleased to know that our work to promote consistent good practices in PPPs continues to expand globally.”
All three levels for the APMG PPP Certification Programme are available in Russian language thanks to the efforts of IFC, who contracted PPP Experts Ltd to do the adaption into Russian language, in cooperation with the Swiss SECO and Austrian BMF. The PPP Guide, a FREE downloadable resource, is now fully available in Russian language to help candidates prepare for the PPP Certification Program.
The Execution exam is scheduled to be launched in 2020 which will complete the program, enabling Russian PPP practitioners to study all three levels of the program to become CP3P.
