Our project team’s tasks have included periodically monitoring selected project activities and inputs/outputs in five agencies of FATA. These tasks include:

1. Periodic review of operational processes, activities, outputs, and results in the field; and
2. Comparing the processes and activities outlined in the Project Operations Manual to those being implemented in practice, to identify any deviations as well as areas where additional attention may be warranted.
