Delivery

To ensure that participants developed their awareness of the key commercial and risk issues in Project Finance, we worked closely with IDBI to develop two Project Finance programmes, one for participants working in legal functions and the second for participants working primarily in risk analysis and sales related roles.

The programmes consisted of a mixture of local and international case studies which highlighted key commercial, risk and risk mitigation issues in Project Finance, as well as approaches to the financing of, and lessons of experience in,large scale Infrastructure / PPP projects.

To assist the bank in assessing the impact of the training we also provided a post course test that was to be integrated with the Client Learning Management System.
