Preparing the terms of reference, finding good consultants, and managing the consultants’ outputs are not easy tasks for most ADB staff who don’t have previous experience on ICT projects. Taking advantage of the SDCC-DT’s position as a coordination unit for ICT in operation, the TA project helped compile ADB’s ongoing and planned ICT projects and proactively approached the project officers proposing technical support to operational departments. The TA project mobilized ICT experts, both individual and/or consulting firms, in consideration of the nature of the technical assistance required.
