During Project Design Two outputs are expected from the TA:

(i) Human resource reform in PDB
The TA will review the findings of the Diagnostic Analysis to determine if the Government has taken any steps to reduce or eliminate the performance gaps identified in the final report. Building upon this review, the TA will develop an appropriate institutional operating strategy for MFED that will amongst other things: (i) establish achievable and measurable key performance targets and outputs with appropriate indicators; (ii) ensure there is proportionality between expected results and available resources and; (iii) clarify the expectations of clients.

(ii) Improve planning and guidance and oversight of PE
The TA will also review the implementation of the PE Act to identify areas that requires strengthening. Based on this review, the TA will develop a capacity building strategy to build PERMUs understanding of their new roles under the PE Act. In developing the strategy, the TA will consider (i) community service obligations (CSO) calculations and negotiations; (ii) financial reporting requirements; and; (iv) corporate planning.
During Project Implementation The TA will be implemented over a 12 month period, and will finance 9.5 person-months of intermittent international consulting and 5 person-months of national consulting. The consultants will be selected and engaged on an individual basis. The consultants will be engaged according to ADB Guidelines on the Use of Consultants (2010, as amended from time to time). The proceeds of the TA will be disbursed in accordance with the TA Disbursement handbook dated May 2010, as amended from time to time.

The team leader will produce a concise inception report outlining the work program and milestones for the duration of the TA, and a final report summarizing the achievements, issues, lessons learned, and next steps. Throughout the TA, the team leader will submit (by e-mail) brief monthly progress reports summarizing TA activities, progress, issues, and constraints. Team members will produce inputs (reports) on their respective activities for the team leader's progress and final reports. The team leader's final report will be submitted in draft form at least 5 weeks prior to the end of the assignment, and the final report within 2 weeks of receipt of comments by the government and ADB.
