Technical Presentation
We had three rounds in total. First, a phone discussion to figure out the scope. Then, a face-to-face meeting to check how deep and broad your understanding is on specific sector knowledge. We also looked at your university experience with reports and M&E frameworks, and how you've demonstrated implementing knowledge on large scale projects.
