Job description
This term appears as follows:
• Revisar y asegurar el envío de informes financieros y técnicos a la contraparte
The above buller refers to one of the specifications in the JD.
• Contraparte de los Proyectos
This refers to an actual post that the postholder must work alongside.
I'm tempted to use the word partner, but I'm not 100% sure of this as the word 'socio' is also used in the JD. Counterpart doesn't exacting sound right and this concerns a project that is implemented through an INGO, through a local partner.
Many thanks for your thoughts.

If it is clear to you from the rest of the document that the "counterpart" is always a local partner, and you dont want to use "counterpart,"I'd use this term. www.wetlands.org/.../Default.aspx - Compartir16 Sep 2011 – For years, Red Cross and partners of Care and Cordaid have ... local counterparts united themselves in the Partners for Resilience ...; Development Partnership Survey | Keystone

I think that "local implementing partner" is a great solution. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with "local counterpart," although I'd prefer to use this term elsewhere in the document to avoid the repetition of "local implementing partner."

Note from asker:
| Hi Jenni, thanks for your comments. I was thinking along the terms of local/implementing partner, just to distinguish it a bit. However, in this case it would be the local/implementing partner coordinating with and/or reporting back to the INGO. Or I suppose I could just put the name of the agency? I don't know what you think? Many thanks |
| Thanks so much Jenni, very helpful! |

I think 'counterpart' is fine.
