• Inspect materials delivered on site and confirm compliance with specifications.
• Verify the contractor’s adherence to safety standards and site organization.
• Identify any deviations, defects, or risks; propose corrective actions; and follow up on implementation.

• Review the contractor’s progress reports, invoices, and payment requests.
• Provide independent technical verification of quantities, quality, and percentage of completion.
• Advise UNODC on whether payment conditions have been met.

• Prepare site visit reports with photos, progress assessments, and status against schedule.
• Maintain a log of non-compliance issues and corrective actions.
• Produce incident or deviation reports when required.
