Project Name: Study on Local Financial Market Development and Supervisory Framework

Lesson
TA designs can better consider the need for a large pool of international consultants where tasks may be fulfilled within one consultant position. Due to the absence of qualified applicants for one international consultant position, it was necessary to merge the tasks of this position with that of a separately recruited specialist. This had no adverse effect on TA implementation or success and produced savings. However, TA designs could give closer consideration to such a merging of roles when practical, rather than recruiting a larger number of consultants than may actually be needed.
