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.
