Is it possible for a foreign consultant to be engaged on a BAS-supported project?
Yes. Although over 90% of consultants utilised in the Central Asia BAS Programme are local, some consultants from outside of the country of operations have been used. The BAS Programme generally supports projects engaging foreign consultants only if no local consultants are capable of undertaking a particular project. Also, the BAS Programme usually insists that foreign consultants are twinned with local ones in order to build local consulting capabilities in the course of the project.
