Capacity Training
The government of Maldives wants to explore private
sector participation in scientific management of the
waste disposal site on Thilafushi Island and in
developing and implementing an integrated waste
management system, which will include collection,
transfer, processing, and disposal of waste. The
government sought support to assist them in
developing and implementing a communication plan
to ensure that all key stakeholders, opinion makers,
customers (including resorts), and the public as a
whole have access to clear, accurate, and
comprehensive information about the project and are
appropriately consulted on major aspects of the
project. These tasks should contribute to a systematic
effort at change management at the Waste
Management Corporation and with project
stakeholders overall, in order to address the
sensitivities normally associated with a PPP process.
The overall objective of the communication and public
relations program will be to increase awareness,
improve knowledge, understand stakeholder
concerns so that these could be addressed, and
strive for broad-based support for the project.
The workshop is designed to build awareness and
train key government officials from the water
ministries of Iraq, Jordan, and the West Bank & Gaza
on PPP options in the delivery of water services. It is
expected that the training will be attended 15–20
participants. The training workshop will be a learning
platform to provide a basic understanding, build
capacity, and share best practices and emerging
lessons regarding the design, implementation, and
monitoring of PPPs in the water sector.
The objective of this PPIAF activity is to support the
key stakeholders in strengthening their ability to
oversee and implement the PPP transaction currently
being structured by IFC. This will be implemented in
through three main components:
1) Institutional Support Component: to assist the
Energy, Water and Sanitation Authority (EWSA) in
identifying the most appropriate organizational
structure and developing the capacity of the
organization.
2) Technical Support Component: to assist EWSA
with the first steps to developing a long-term master
plan and to strengthen their monitoring and
management capacity to accommodate growth in
water supplied and increase operational capacity and
efficiency.
3) Training: to provide appropriate targeted training
on PPP for key stakeholders
