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.

Lesson
It is essential to ensure quality of the TA consultants (TOR) when preparing the TA project, especially for the team leader so that communication requirements including reporting among the consultants and EA as well as ADB project officer are clearly specified and understood by all parties. When consultants are recruited on individual basis, it is important to have a strong team leader who plays a key role in managing the team and communicating with the EA. It is also important to have the team leader report to the project officer regularly as needed.
