Annexes: First proposed outlines for the technical document to be devised within the assignment (management plan, policy, legislation, study, training topics, etc) Note:
The Interim Technical Report is generally prepared shortly after arrival in the country by the Consultant. The objective is to set the scene for the future implementation of the assignment and ensure that at an early stage any potential problems or misunderstandings are identified. Also it is at this stage that any major changes in conditions that have occurred since the ToRs were prepared need to be acknowledged and incorporated into planning. The Interim Technical Report will demonstrate that implementation is on track at this early stage and also will ensure that inputs can be made and support provided at certain points in implementation e.g. to plan monitoring missions by the RFU and CU. The ITR is often prepared after the Inception Phase or after the Assessment phase (depending on the terminology in the ToR).
