How Consultants Are Selected
The ad says the selection of any individual consultant / assistant will be done in accordance with the World Bank Procurement Regulations for IPF Borrowers: Goods, Works, Non-Consulting and Consulting Services (November 2020). Practically, that means CVs are compared against the ToR, a shortlist is made and only shortlisted people are called for an interview. It is a competitive selection, not a test-based government recruitment.
The ad also explains the background: the Government of Sindh has received World Bank financing for the SWAT project and a part of it is to be used for consultant services. The Agriculture Department has set up a project implementation unit (called the ADU) for the project, and these five posts are part of it. The contract for every post is one year, extendable on satisfactory performance.

- Our check of the official site: on 5 November 2026 we could not find these five 2026 listings on the project site’s Tenders / Advertisement list yet (the site lists older ADU notices). Check back, or use the ad image above.
