-THROUGH A PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP TO NEW INVESTMENTS IN BIH
The Foreign Investment Promotion Agency of BiH (FIPA)
and the Ministry of Economy of the Tuzla Canton are organizing a three-day
workshop in Sarajevo on Public-Private Partnerships "Strengthening the
Capacity of Public Bodies in Processing of Public Private Partnership"
with a financial support of the TAIEX Programme from October 30 to November 1st,
2019.
Considering that Public Private Partnership represents
a novelty in theory and practice in Bosnia and Herzegovina, FIPA and the
Ministry of Economy of Tuzla Canton applied for two TAIEX technical support
activities in June 2018 in order to contribute, through the implementation of
this instrument, to build the capacity of public bodies in the field of
public-private partnership.
The workshop is intended to representatives of public
bodies from the cantonal and local levels of government, who will work on the
identification, preparation, contracting and monitoring of PPP projects, at
which lecturers are representatives of institutions from EU Member States.
The workshop will enable representatives of public
authorities to learn about the institutional framework and practice in the
field of public-private partnership in EU Member States, to define the
preconditions for identifying potential projects, to participate in the process
of preparation and implementation of PPP projects, to develop models for
monitoring PPP projects, analyse and propose potential PPP projects and similar.
Considering the increased interest of foreign
investors in investing in PPP projects in BiH, and only a few such projects
implemented so far, we hope that this workshop will contribute to an increase in
the number of PPP projects, and consequently investments both foreign and
domestic.
