Support in water and sanitary supply in suburban areas in Boliviant
I am struggling to get the right translation in French of a contract translated from Spanish into Engllish regarding an international water supply and sanitary implementation in suburban areas in Bolivia. How would you translate "XXX person/days" in French? Here is a bit of context: "Personnel
• Team leader, Expert in programme coordination, with experience of the water and sanitation sector, the budget support modality and sector-based approach (660 person/days)
• One Expert in adaptation to climate change, with a strong focus on water resources (660 person/days)
• A team of short-term experts:
o 880 person/days national short-term experts
o 396 person/days international short-term experts"
(the original document is in Spanish and it is written "660 días/personas".
Thanks for your precious help!

Oui, en FR-FR, c'est "jours-hommes", avec un trait d'union et non une barre de fraction.

Note from asker:
| Merci Alain! J'avais trouvé jours-personnes sur des sites français canadiens. Donc en français ça se traduit par jours-hommes. |
| hommes-jours est approprié au contexte de ce document. Merci beaucoup! |

Comment: "jours-hommes est le terme approprié dans le contexte de ce document."
2 hrs
personnes-jours
Il s'agit d'estimer les besoins en personnels, que l'on exprime en "personnes-jours" : par exemple, 2 personnes pendant 7 jours, ou 1 personne pendant 14 jours, de façon continue ou non, représentent l'équivalent de "14 personnes-jours".
