Mobilization

It is essential that both NEP+ and Wisdom Consult have a common understanding of the objectives of the assignment and the expected outcome. On the commencement of the assignment, the Wisdom Consult team leader and the international consultant met with Finance and Administration Manager of NEP+ to discuss, clarify and agree on the objectives of the assignment. During the meeting, we aimed to:

  • Discuss the assignment in detail and methods of obtaining sufficient information;
  • Agree with NEP+ the specific parameters to be included in the survey;
  • Obtain clear perceptions of the scope and underlying issues of this assignment and NEP+’s expectations;
  • Agree the scheduling of the data collection and deliverables.
