01
Expertise-Based
Potential involvement begins with the expertise required for a particular piece of work.
Technical Assistance Network
Specialist expertise
for defined work.
Avarynth’s work can require different combinations of technical and professional experience.
The Technical Assistance Network provides a pathway for experienced specialists whose expertise may be relevant to specific projects, assignments, research, programs, or institutional needs.
Why a Network
The work determines
the expertise required.
Complex assignments rarely require the same combination of expertise.
A public health engagement may require research, implementation, policy, economics, digital systems, organizational practice, or another specialist perspective. A research assignment may require expertise that differs from one question to the next.
The Technical Assistance Network allows Avarynth to identify relevant specialist experience when a defined need arises.
The Network
A pathway for
specialist contribution.
02
Assignment-Specific
Specialists may be considered where their experience fits a defined project, assignment, or technical requirement.
03
Multidisciplinary
Different engagements may require professionals from different disciplines or combinations of disciplines.
04
Context-Dependent
The role, scope, duration, location, and working arrangement depend on the requirements of the specific assignment.
Being part of the Technical Assistance Network does not guarantee an assignment or create an employment relationship with Avarynth.
