• Project Preparation and Structuring: Supporting procurement strategy, risk assessment, and contract packaging to attract qualified partners and investors.
• Climate Resilience Planning: Ensuring infrastructure assets can withstand environmental shocks and align with green building codes and climate financing criteria.

We focus on transportation (roads, ports, railways), energy (generation, transmission, distribution), water and sanitation, and social infrastructure (education, health, housing).

2. Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs)

We provide end-to-end advisory for PPPs, helping public institutions unlock private capital and capacity to meet infrastructure demands.

Flygates has a strong grasp of local PPP regulations, and we tailor our approach to each country’s legal, financial, and institutional context.
