assessments.

Consultations
may involve guidelines/work plan review and development. TA requests usually

PITC activities in district hospitals; 2) TSP TA expert provides two-week on
site support to adjust data collection methodologies to PEPFAR for preparation
of a USAID APR submission; 3) TSP TA expert assesses a country’s challenges
