WAPPP Peer Recognition Scheme
September 19, 2020
The
World Association of PPP Units and Professionals (WAPPP) is actively engaged in
promoting international best practices in PPP project design, tendering, and
implementation, as well as the highest standards of professionalism among PPP
practitioners. To that end, and noting that there is a need to distinguish true
expertise in the domain of PPP acquired in the field, working on all the
different aspects of PPP projects over a number of years, from theoretical
knowledge of the subject acquired through training courses, WAPPP has decided
to establish a Peer Recognition scheme and adopted the WAPPP Peer Recognition
Guidelines, which can be found on WAPPP’s website. Under these Guidelines,
WAPPP members can propose PPP practitioners for such recognition. Candidates
are then interviewed by members of the Peer Recognition Board. If they meet the
criteria set in the Guidelines, they are recognized as “Peers” and are welcomed
into the highest ranking of the PPP profession. (Reference https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c8oF6YayueyBKuwa_B6dscfHxLgkhfVH/view?usp=sharing )
Acting
under the referenced Guidelines, Ziad Alexandre Hayek, President of WAPPP,
recognized three members of WAPPP as peers. They are Naresh Bana, David Baxter,
and Thibaut Mourgues.
Hayek
congratulated the three recognized peers and reminded them that “they will be
expected to mentor other PPP practitioners and embrace the highest ethical
standards, which are at the core of WAPPP’s drive for excellence in the PPP
profession.” The four peers now constitute the initial Peer Recognition Board,
which will be entrusted with recognizing additional peers in the months to
come.
