Role of the IndII Technical Team To meet regularly with AusAID and the IndII managing contractor (MC) to discuss program progress review activity proposals, and more generally support the implementation of the facility
Scheduling and venue No set schedule, often driven by need for activity approval Usually, on average, one a month in 2009/10, With two TTs, timing will likely be one every 6 weeks or so Usually start at 10 am, or 2 pm and go for 2-3 hours...often followed by lunch or dinner Venue to date has been IndII (except for today) New ideas/modalities for TTs??
Technical Team focus To date focus has been on reviewing proposals this is due to the rapid scaling up of IndII beginning April/May 2009 in coming 12 month period we expect more emphasis on oversight and monitoring of existing activities Water and Sanitation TT activities Oversight of WSI activities (water and wastewater hibah, wastewater masterplanning) Review of Infrastructure Enhancement Grants (IEGs) in wastewater Oversight of existing IndIIwatsan activities Review of new proposals
