1. Understanding the principles of public-private partnership (PPP)

2. Master the guidelines governing the PPP within the framework of the Froid Vert Togo (FVT) project

3. Develop skills for the implementation of the FVT project in the context of a PPP

The event successfully met its objectives and provided the participants with valuable information and guidelines on how to initiate a PPP for the FVT project. The direct exchange with the experts provided an opportunity to ask specific questions for the FVT project, for example about what financial information is required. The Experts from Deal & Consulting successfully established a platform of knowledge about the PPP framework and regulations in Togo relevant for the RAC and WEEE Sector, consisting of templates, presentation and guidelines.
