ADB, as coordinator for the external funding agencies and other development partners will provide overall supervision of the team and administer the TA. The consultants will provide 69.5 person-months of national and 19.5 person-months of international consultant inputs, including 5 person-months provided in parallel under World Bank financing. The international water sector specialist will act as Team leader to manage the Review in close collaboration with MoNRE, the lead coordinating agency on the Government side.
