The procurement process for consultancy services and civil works was too long in spite of approval by ADB to advance corresponding action. ADB and the executing agency should have agreed on the length of the procurement process, which was already set in the ADB procurement guidelines. The delay in core team consultant procurement led to national consultants being tapped to proceed with the project and avoid delays.
