FIDIC Contract Administration for Project Teams

FIDIC forms of contract govern a large share of infrastructure work funded by development banks across Africa, yet many project teams administer them by instinct rather than by the contract. This course walks through the roles, notices, payment mechanisms and claims procedures of the common FIDIC forms. The focus is practical day to day administration that protects the project and reduces disputes.
