inputs that are relevant to the stage of the Project and the timing of other elements of
work.

II. OUTPUT ACCOMPLISHMENT
A. Terms of Reference
Provide a summary of the main components of the work described in the terms
of reference. Indicate in general how the components of the work relate to the Project as
a whole and the practical situation. Attach a copy of the terms of reference to the End-of-
Assignment Report as Appendix 1. Note any significant changes to the terms of
reference made during the period of assignment. Note also important general
categories of work performed outside of, or in addition to, the terms of reference. For
these latter categories, include details as additional sections below.
B. [This Heading refers to Item A of the Terms of Reference]
Give an account of output accomplishment under the item. The terms of
reference for a specific position are written to reflect the requirements of the position and
the End-of-Assignment Report should reflect their unique properties. The heading
should be paraphrased from the task item listed in the terms of reference, and should
include sections related to any work undertaken in addition to, or outside of, the terms of
reference. The text should detail the work done under the assignment to address the
specific item. For instance, the heading might read "Review Existing Data and Reports".
The text under the heading should then describe the process of review, the data and
reports reviewed, and the findings therein. Relevant work outputs, e.g., reports,
communications, notes, technical calculations, and other materials, should be attached
as appendixes and referenced in the text.
C. Item B–N of the Terms of Reference
Address each item of the terms of reference, and work performed outside of, or
in addition to, the terms of reference, under one of these sections.
