Masterclass 2026

 11 NOVEMBER 2026 – PRE-CONFERENCE TRAINING MASTERCLASS

 FROM VISION TO INVESTMENT: PREPARING BANKABLE INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS FOR PPP AND PRIVATE SECTOR FINANCING

A COMPREHENSIVE, FULL DAY MASTERCLASS TRAINING WORKSHOP ON PROJECT PREPARATION

This exclusive, in-person training masterclass is designed specifically for PPP Units, senior government officials, infrastructure development agencies, project preparation facilities, and public sector leaders responsible for infrastructure delivery across Africa. As governments across the continent seek to accelerate infrastructure development and attract private sector investment, strong project preparation capabilities are critical to transforming infrastructure priorities into bankable investment opportunities. This full-day training provides practical guidance on how governments can design, structure and deliver investment-ready infrastructure projects across key sectors including energy, transport, water, urban infrastructure, and digital connectivity.

The workshop will bring together heads of infrastructure planning, PPP unit directors, public investment authorities, and infrastructure policy leaders to explore practical approaches for:

  • Strengthening national project pipelines
  • Improving project preparation frameworks
  • Structuring investment-ready PPP and infrastructure projects
  • Engaging effectively with investors, lenders and development finance institutions

Delivered through expert-led presentations, real-world case studies and interactive discussions, the masterclass will provide practical insights and tools that government institutions can apply immediately to strengthen their infrastructure programmes. Participants are encouraged to submit key project preparation challenges or priority discussion topics in advance, ensuring the workshop addresses real policy and implementation issues facing African governments.
