Background and context
In the framework of the implementation of current TBEC projects, it is planned to hold a large number of meetings, currently mainly online, as part of monitoring visits, consultations, national dialogues, as well as webinars.

To ensure the high quality of provided services, as well as the sustainability of the provision of translation, TBEC forms a pool of translators. The pool of translators will allow TBEC to work with experienced and highly qualified consultants, and if one of the translators will perform other assignment, contact the next one from the pool, which will ensure the continuity of program activities.
