Social Sciences - Marketing / Market Research / Support in water and sanitary supply in suburban areas in Boliviant | | English term or phrase: XXX person/days | I am struggling to get the right translation in French of a contract translated from Spanish into Engllish regarding an international water supply and sanitary implementation in suburban areas in Bolivia. How would you translate "XXX person/days" in French? Here is a bit of context: "Personnel
• Team leader, Expert in programme coordination, with experience of the water and sanitation sector, the budget support modality and sector-based approach (660 person/days)
• One Expert in adaptation to climate change, with a strong focus on water resources (660 person/days)
• A team of short-term experts:
o 880 person/days national short-term experts
o 396 person/days international short-term experts"
(the original document is in Spanish and it is written "660 días/personas".
Thanks for your precious help! |
