Payment will be made to the consultant upon submission to and approval of accomplished deliverables by the supervisor. Flexibility in consideration of deliverables for payment may be made given the nature and context of the assignment (technical and complex) and the government institution and sector (bureaucratic and complex) that the Consultant will support.
Risks associated with the contract
All reasonable and likely risks should be identified, and relevant risk response and possible mitigating action defined.
Learning symposium not well coordinated – this will be mitigated through thorough preparation, especially in the five-day preparation phase, together with the consultant, and through face-to-face meetings ahead of the event.
In the event of COVID-19-related travel/in-person meeting restrictions, the CHLS will be held online. This would require a different planning/preparation process/schedule, with the resulting transition to an online event ideally being known well in advance of the learning symposium dates.
