APMG and IFC announce Russian translations for PPP Certification Program training, exams and guidance.
APMG International and IFC are pleased to announce that Foundation Level PPP Guide, training, and exam is now available in Russian, thanks to the support of the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO). The PPP Guide is a FREE downloadable resource to help candidates prepare for the PPP Certification Program.
“The Russian language translation was organised by IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, with the support of SECO” said Georgi Petrov, IFC PPP Transaction Advisory Manager for Europe and Central Asia (ECA) “We hope that the PPP Guide will introduce more people to PPPs in ECA and motivate businesses and authorities to engage in this model more frequently.”
SECO supports the language adaptation of the PPP Guide into Russian to enhance PPPs which are based on international standards and increased private sector participation developments in ECA.
Abha Joshi-Ghani, Senior Advisor, Infrastructure, PPP, and Guarantees Department, the World Bank, said “The PPP Certification program is the definitive credential that demonstrates one’s knowledge and understanding of international PPP good practice. We are seeing increasing uptake on this program worldwide, and hope that PPP professionals in ECA find the program as useful as our other regions have found it.”
Marek Waskiewicz, Associate, Infrastructure Project Preparation Facility (IPPF) at EBRD, said “Since April 2017, EBRD’s Infrastructure Project Preparation Facility delivered the Foundation level trainings and examinations to public servants in Serbia, Belarus, Ukraine, Romania and Egypt. One of the major challenges we faced was related to language abilities and participants’ fluency in English. We are therefore very keen to see the Body of Knowledge translated into Russian and other languages. This allows us to build PPP capacity more effectively in EBRD Countries of Operation.”
The PPP Certification Program comprises three examinations: Foundation, Preparation and Execution, and the Foundation exam is a pre-requisite for sitting the two higher level exams. Chapter 1 of the PPP Guide and the Glossary are the core reading materials for candidates taking the Foundation Level exam.
Since the launch of the PPP Certification Program in English two years ago, the Foundation exam and PPP Guide have been translated into Spanish, French and Chinese, and now also into Russian.
