and Promote Integrity in the Selection and Employment of Consultants

Location: MC 10-100
Speaker: Marianne Camerer (Team Leader) and Stephen Schwenke Ph.D., (Lead Consultant)
The public sectors need for expert services in developing countries increases each year as development brings increasing complexity, new technologies and more sophisticated problems to resolve. These services are procured from specialized providers of expertise - professionals and expert consultants. But with growing reliance on private sector consultants comes an increasing level of mistrust among both public sector officials and consultants. Public sector officials worry that consultants do not provide value for money while consultants worry that the public sector procurement process is neither fair nor efficient. It rankles such consultants that their contractual relationships with the public sector are based on the premise that the public sector must exercise maximum oversight and control, instead of jointly forging a trusted partnership between client and consultant.
