New clarification added: QUESTION: TOR Clause 5 l. - Consultative partners forum. Please kindly expand on the expectation for this activity? Is this a physical forum, is it a regular exchange of documents, is it some kind of internet-based system, or something else?Furthermore, in Clause 5 the separate tasks “j. Organizational roles for decision-making” and “k. Governance arrangements for the Roadmap endorsement” include highly related processes. Please explain the difference. In some markets there are participant committees that provide feedback on detailed implementation rules but also have voting rights that are part of the decision-making process.

If so, where is it in the TOR.ANSWER:a) A consultatitve development partner forum that the Consultant will propose and describe of online and/or physical and/or combination of both that will allow interaction to discuss the APGP program and products of the project among different international development partners funding and supporting activities in domain of ASEAN Power Grid and related activities.
