A Transition Plan is mentioned in both the Deliverables Summary and Performance Requirement Summary charts; I'm assuming that this refers to a transition from Government funding to other forms of funding? Yes c. Can I assume the hiring and training of local Afghan staff within 0 - 3 months mentioned in 3.6 does not suggest that the organization must be fully staffed in that time? Yes, correct.
