The consultancy team formation shall be depended on the nature of the joint project and human resources in the Technical Bureau and the concerned Federal Entity. In addition to the above-mentioned consultants, the nature of the proposed project may require hiring other consultants specialised in areas to be determined as appropriate. Examples of these consultants are as follows:
1- Environmental Consultant
Some environmental tasks are often entrusted to the technical consultant. However, in some joint projects, especially infrastructure projects, which its implementation may result in serious environmental consequences, it is necessary to prepare a detailed study of the environmental impact on the state. This matter requires hiring a consultant specialised in the environmental matters. Despite the winning bidder could take it upon himself studying the environmental impact due to the requirements of some funders, the need for environmental consultant remains imperative since it sets the minimum environmental standards to be observed by partners when designing technical solutions, which include, but are not limited to, green building and sustainability. The environmental consultant evaluates the extent to which these solutions satisfy the objective environmental conditions.
2- Public Relations Consultant "Marketing"
Hiring public relations consultant aims at disseminating information about the project in order to involve all stakeholders and ensuring their support of the joint project on one hand and informing the private sector of the proposed project on the other. Thus, the work of a public relations consultant targets two groups of the public, namely public opinion and private sector.
As for the public opinion: Public relations consultant may, in order to gain its support for the project, resort to organize public consultancy meetings with stakeholders such as civil society organizations to view the project details and goals and to listen to their opinions and concerns with respect to the project impacts on them. It may also resorts to the media, where it can organize dialogic sessions with the concerned Federal Entity and Technical Bureau, or publish newspaper articles or present short documentary films describing the project parameters and targets thereof.
As for the private sector: The public relations consultant tasks aim at promoting the joint project and attracting the attention of potential investors. These tasks may include roadshows addressed to the investment community, and surveys of investors' opinions in order to measure the level of interest in the joint project.
