This manual sets out the policies, practices, and procedures for recruiting and using consultants by ADB and its borrowers, covering the range of activities for which consultants are recruited, the different types of consultants and when their services are used, the range of differing consultant selection methods, and the procedures for the administration of consulting services by both ADB and its client borrowers.

A unique feature of the Manual is a self-study questionnaire provided at the end of each chapter. This is to be used as a summary of the chapter, as a review of the material covered, and as a basis for testing during training sessions.

This document should be seen as a user’s guide and as a practical aid to the complex process of recruiting and supervising consultants.
