This section presents the work plan for the activities with a timeline to undertake the evaluation including the finalization of the proposed approach and methodology for data collection, literature review, field work, review and analysis, reporting and dissemination phases.
It is expected that the evaluation would be conducted by a Consulting firm within a duration of fifteen (15) months. A level of effort of 164 person-weeks (41 person-months or 1,148 person-days) is estimated. This will include three (3) bilingual PPP sector experts specialized in the power, transport, and renewable energy sectors, and a team leader with high level experience in monitoring and evaluation of PPP interventions. The evaluation may also need more expertise from the legal, legislative, judiciary and procurement to complement the institutional and legislative country environments.
