The expert will be expected to regularly prepare written technical and other reports required to formulate initial concept-level project proposals, determine technical scope and feasibility of investments, consider project management, procurement and other implementation arrangements, and identify policy and institutional issues and propose realistic steps for addressing these. The expert will work within general policies, principles and goals, interacting directly with clients.
