Clear understanding of government and ADB policies, guidelines, and procedures. Lack of familiarity with and understanding of policies, guidelines, and procedures of the government and ADB�particularly on procurement, accounting, and financial reporting�is often a source of confusion and delays.

PIU budgets should contain allocations for staff training.
