APMG International is pleased to announce that chapter 1 of the PPP Guide is now available in Japanese. The PPP Guide is a FREE downloadable resource to help candidates prepare for the PPP Certification Program.
This new translation now means that individuals can download the PPP Guide and study in their native language for the Foundation exam, helping them take the first step towards achieving the CP3P credential.

The PPP Certification Program comprises three examinations: Foundation, Preparation and Execution. The Foundation exam is a pre-requisite for sitting the two higher level exams. Candidates who sit all three exams can collect their CP3P digital badge to share on social media demonstrating they are a Certified PPP Professional.
“Releasing the Japanese translation allows more PPP professionals to study for the exam in their own language, building a common PPP lexicon around the globe. We wish this release a tremendous success and are confident that candidates will benefit greatly from this PPP Certification Program,” said Abha Joshi-Ghani, Senior Advisor, Infrastructure, Head of Infrastructure, Analytics, and Programs, World Bank.
Crown Agents Japan who are responsible for the translation said, “In 2015, the Japanese Government introduced a scheme called “Grant Aid for Concession (GAC)”, creating a hybrid scheme (co-financed PPPs), from Japan’s Official Development Assistance (ODA) to promote development of infrastructure project in developing countries. CA was appointed as procurement agent for projects in Kenya and the Philippines.
The definition and the focus of PPPs described in the PPP Guide is almost identical to Japan’s GAC scheme. Translation to a Japanese version is highly relevant to promote Japan’s GAC scheme, and beneficial not only for the Japanese Government, but also for Japanese consultants, engineers, contractors, financial institutes and other stakeholders of ODA and infrastructure industries. Considering such benefits, CAJ contacted APMG and proposed the Japanese version which is now being launched. CAJ has established a CP³P training team to provide the Foundation exam training. The team leader has over 15 years of experience in large-scale international infrastructure project management and 20 years of experience in Japanese and international PPP projects.”
