Include any specific training, certifications, or workshops attended related to MDB procurement frameworks.
3. For the technical preparation, be ready to demonstrate your prior experience in preparing Strategic Procurement Planning (SPP) as per ADB's Guidance Note, as this is highly desirable.

A broad understanding of procurement requirements for Bus Rapid Transit systems and other urban transport projects will be considered an advantage, so highlight any such experience in your CV. Prepare clear examples of contract management situations you have handled, dispute resolution processes you have participated in, and procurement strategies you have designed for infrastructure or transport projects.
