The project objectives were as follows: to assist the MERD in steering the working group; to provide specific targeted inputs to working group discussions; to help the Government determine the extent and nature of informational, analytical, and institutional steps required to fully elaborate and implement a reform strategy; and to advise the Bank and the Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility (PPIAF) on the potential demand for further external assistance to the reform process. The required specific deliverables were as follows: an inception note, including the consultant s first views after reading existing background reports, recommendation for any changes in the TOR for the services; a first draft of agenda items for the working group; following the second and subsequent visit(s), briefs on case studies, comparative sectoral analyses, and other contributions to working group discussions; and this final summary report, including a terms of reference for further recommended studies and identification of potential roadblocks. 2013-03-25T14:06:41Z 2013-03-25T14:06:41Z 2010-01-11 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2010/01/16407809/serbia-technical-assistance-republic-serbia-advisory-support-working-group-designing-reform-strategy-municipal-public-utility-companies http://hdl.handle.net/10986/12881 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Policy Note Economic & Sector Work Europe and Central Asia Serbia
