SUMMARY:IMESA Conference
DESCRIPTION:With all the challenges facing the industry today\, whether these are economic\, social\, environmental or political\, engineers need to adapt and be innovative. This starts with the local authorities\, where most of professionals perform some function to serve South Africa’s communities. It goes beyond the government corridors – it stretches into the ideas and solutions for taking municipal engineering into the future as envisaged and created by the engineers in South Africa. \nThe IMESA Trade Exhibition has grown steadily over the past 80 years and has become a very important feature of the IMESA conferences. The exhibition is always one of the major reasons why delegates attend IMESA conferences. \nThe theme for 2016 is “Siyaphambili – Engineering the future”.

SUMMARY:PPP financing\, policy and law master class
DESCRIPTION:A unique and outstanding combination of intensive training on PPP financing\, policy and law to address the current key challenges in the African market. \nThe key in unlocking the real potential of Africa lies in its infrastructure. Merely grasping the concepts of PPP does not ensure success in Africa’s future development. Successful PPPs have one thing in common: a solid and sound structure fueled by interdependence from all stakeholders involved. Besides a shared vision\, we require the knowledge and the capacity to make it happen. \nBeginning with an in-depth understanding of how PPPs and project finance work\, to policy and law\, all the way to contract mechanisms\, financial structuring and risk analysis\, this course seeks to push its participants to master and innovate\, with the aid of a good number of carefully designed group exercises and case studies. \nThe final day of the course will be devoted to a series of case studies of actual current projects in the power\, transport and social infrastructure sectors in Africa\, which will demonstrate how the theoretical knowledge gained in days 1-3 is applied in practice.
