| Abstract | This contract management training manual, designed for regional, zonal, and woreda WASH teams, presents contract management as a multi-stage process that ensures contractual obligations are met to deliver the specific objectives of the contract. The manual emphasises the importance of achieving the objectives of the contract in a timely manner and obtaining value for money. This involves optimizing process efficiency, balancing costs and risks, and striving for continuous performance improvement. The ultimate objectives of contract management are effectiveness, ensuring the job gets done, and efficiency, focusing on how the job is done within the agreed costs, time, and quality parameters. The manual also highlights the relationship between procurement and contract management, viewing the procurement process as a comprehensive pathway that leads to the achievement of the contract’s ultimate scope. This includes all steps from needs assessment and planning to the delivery of goods, services, or completion of civil works. |
