Overview

Project Finance is a highly technical and complex field that has evolved with PPPs, especially as a limited-recourse facility. As a rapidly developing field of practice in connection with the rolling out of PPPs in Nigeria, there has been established a grave need for updating of the skills of investment professionals and financial analysts involved in infrastructure projects across the country.

Delivered by internationally certified and recognized experts in LBS and the PPP domain of practice, this Seminar is designed to assist investment professionals and financial analysts in fully understanding the practical techniques, skills, and spreadsheet models needed to analyze, structure, negotiate, and ultimately complete successful project-backed financings. By presenting effective financial model design techniques, analyzing case studies of project financing models, and participating in role-playing simulations to analyze and negotiate infrastructure project financings, participants in this program will learn how to design and structure project financing models, how to review and critique project financing models, as well as how to strengthen the structure and how to negotiate infrastructure project financings.

This bootcamp is delivered in 4 modules, over seven days, including a case study and site visit. Below is an overview of the areas covered in the 4 Modules:
