The staff of the Ministry of public works has received notions for the control of the competitive dialogue and the negotiation of partnership.

What you need to know to better drive the large development projects involving private partners was detailed during a training workshop for officials of the Ministry of public works, engineer of the State in the implementation of infrastructure projects.

The training session chaired by the Secretary general of the Ministry, Philémon Zo'o Zame, focused on the conduct of competitive dialogues and negotiations of partnership contracts. According to the Director of engineering of buildings and other infrastructure, M. Tchouplaou, "the competitive dialogue is the study of the technical records that various private partners submit to meet the demand of the public partner which is the State or local authorities."

In a practical way, "each private partner brings his way of seeing things, his organization and the public partner must be able to set up a team to evaluate, compare these offers and define the offer that can meet his need."

The workshop is a good mastery of the concept of public-private partnership, the pre-financing of projects, as well as for follow-up studies and the realization of railway, airport, port, highway projects and public buildings.

At the end of the training, the Department should therefore acquire control of the development of instruments, techniques of analysis projects and selection of partners, analysis of the modes of management of large-scale public projects, as well as the mastery of their mounting and their management.

The principles for the development of the mechanisms of implementation of contracts of partnership and the assessment of their feasibility must also have been acquired.
