1)    Positioning

•    The Expert intervenes remotely, part-time, at a rate of 10 days per month. One-off missions to Jerusalem and Ramallah (two to three) may be organized if the needs of the project warrant it and the security context allows it.
•    The Expert provides Expertise France with occasional technical support for the preparation, monitoring, and quality control of the expert missions mobilized as part of the project. 
•    PPFI and the Ministry of Finance and Planning ensure the definition and prioritization of needs, as well as the technical management of activities. The Expert will intervene on the basis of the requests and priorities thus established, in compliance with the contractual framework of the project and under the supervision of Expertise France.
•    The Expert works in conjunction with the Project Assistant based at headquarters, who ensures the operational, administrative, and financial follow-up of the project and liaises with support functions. For the mobilization of experts from French administrations, she or he may also be required to communicate with the competent technical units of Expertise France.

2)    Main missions

Support for the framing of expert missions
•    Contribute to the translation of the needs expressed by the partners, through support for the framing of precise, realistic terms of reference adapted to the volume of days and the intervention methods chosen;
•    Contribute to the identification of appropriate expertise profiles and, when necessary, participate in technical exchanges prior to their mobilization;
•    Ensure, in the framing of missions, consistency with the project’s objectives, components, and resources.
Technical monitoring of expert missions
•    Organize a scoping exchange with each mobilized expert to recall the objectives, expected results, context constraints, and working arrangements with partners;
•    Monitor the progress of assignments at agreed intervals, facilitate the clarification of technical expectations, and report to Expertise France any difficulties that may affect the schedule, quality, or compliance of the work;
•    Provide experts with timely methodological support, particularly on the structuring of the approach, consultations, and deliverables;
•    Contribute, at the main stages of the missions monitored (launch, mid-term and closing), to the related technical meetings.

Quality control of technical productions
•    Review the draft versions of the deliverables in light of the terms of reference, the quality of the analysis, the methodological soundness, the consideration of the context and the operational nature of the recommendations;
•    Issue a reasoned technical opinion to PPFI on compliance and quality of deliverables. This notice sheds light on the contractual follow-up provided by Expertise France and does not replace the recipient’s receipt or acceptance of the results;
•    Identify cross-cutting lessons and areas of focus useful for the preparation of subsequent missions.

Monitoring of results related to expertise activities
•    Contribute to the collection and verification of information relating to the missions monitored and the indicators to which they contribute;
•    Provide the Project Assistant with the technical elements necessary for monitoring and reporting, within the scope of his/her intervention.

3)    Expected deliverables
•    A monthly summary note presenting the expert missions followed, the work carried out and the main observations made as part of the quality control of the deliverables;
•    In case of travel, a brief mission report presenting the work carried out and the main findings within its scope of intervention.
