Project Challenges & Solutions
Challenges

- Few instructions provided: UNODC provided few specific guidelines on how to handle the projects, such as linguistic instructions, deliverables, or reference materials.
Solutions
- High-quality resources: Our project managers allocated the most reliable linguists and an LQA process for the jobs. The editors were required to look into the LQA result carefully and apply global changes.
