This 1.5 hour e-modules help break through the jargon and myth around PPP, especially when it applies to irrigation water management, to understand its core features, the differences between various PPP models, and how a well-designed PPP can help overcome common problems with government-provided irrigation services. The e-learning draws on the recent experience in Egypt, as well as other case studies. It works learners through the stages of developing a PPP transaction, — from engaging with stakeholders to designing regulatory and monitoring arrangements.

- Understand how a well-designed PPP can provide irrigation services to farmers at a reasonable price;
- Be familiar with the main tasks involved in developing a PPP; from engaging stakeholders to preparing and evaluating bids;
- Be prepared to participate in more specialized training on PPPs.
