Deputation of Experts / Consultants

To support member countries in planning and implementing their rural development projects, AARDO provides with the needed experience, expertise and guidance by way of making available the services of experts in specific fields. On receipt of such a request from member countries, expert(s) are deputed to a requiring country. To facilitate this process, AARDO Secretariat has prepared a DataBank of Experts relating to various fields of agriculture and rural development and uses services of experts as and when required. Besides, AARDO also utilizes the large repository of trained Indian agricultural scientists who have been working in the apex level agricultural institutions on a wide variety of issues.

In view of growing needs of expertise in planning and implementation of agricultural and rural development projects in the member countries, it is proposed to fulfil such needs through provision of expertise, experiences and guidance by deputing experts in the desired fields. The experts would be deputed on the basis of specific request from member countries.

Under such deputation of experts/consultants, AARDO usually meets expenses on their return journey airfare (economy class) and provides them with suitable honorarium for the first month of their stay in the host/beneficiary country, while the beneficiary country covers expenses on local hospitality, including board & lodging, transportation, etc. The beneficiary country, if desired the extended stay of the expert/consultant, would be required to meet all the expenses as well as provide suitable honorarium from the second month.
