Objet r Re: Fw: RH Kosovo
h i
arranrÈ'^'l.'
Line with
the announced new organigrame
ÈhaL Tin senÈ to many of you, hereby
additionnaL
comments thaC should help to inform
and agree on where we are
for and how (plan for Èhe coming weeks): please react
(by preference
rn
a confirmative
way)
The main
reason
for
this
kincl
of
approach
is
double:
1 . w e a l l have probably
our vague idea of things but under Èhe presenÈ speed of
(and consequentl-y Li-ttle time to discuss then) I feel it is
changing
scenario's
'i
importaDt
Èo put a fetv Èhings go paper at inCervals
2- the present
formula
of funcÈioning
is one of IT (InÈernaEional
Team) which is
iasically
counÈing of goodi"rill
(to share info,
amonqsÈ sect.ions concerned
to
' '?en
up the post int.ernaÈ.iona11y, . . ) while the original
managenent scheme (joinÈ
d-F mission)
remains so far unaltered.
To cry to preserve
goodwill,
this
necessary
we need Èo make sure ( formally)
abouL some basic princj-pIes.
I.
The g1obal
plan
for
Èhe coming
weeks:
L. in the coming days we will
return
to Èhe fietd
resuming operationalit'y
as
before,
bul hrith Èhe Limits
of the present
tealll (maybe adding back Keith and
. stephanie);
it might noE be perfect,
buc it is already
fanÈastic
we can make
Èhis so fasÈ
2. we nay have to stop again around Lhe VIE if airstlikes
v,re againsÈ all
probably
expectations
still
plan of
occur;
then we'll
fall
back to ghe previous
reducing
and evacuating
Ehe team to Skopje,
keep a few as long as possibte
to
keep sensing the atmosphere;
it is almost impossible
to predicÈ noh' what the
'chance
for xeturn
!o operaÈions
mighÈ be if after
all bombs r,vould sti1l
fa1l,
Èo
see next i,veek
3. independent
of the evolutsion
in Kosovo, it seems perÈinenE Èo prepare now a
(and
mission
of a few weeks at least
Eo check the siÈuat.ion
in Montenegro
(don'È go
Northern-Albania)
; tshis should go on basis of a small proposal
if this
could be decided now between Bxl and Paris,
!);
than À,dam
'/,€m,pty-handed
s prepared
Eo launch Ehe aclion.
-:fhese teams will
fall
al-so under Èhe Pristina
coordinaÈion
as we qo now for a
regional
mission.
4. basically
we expece ghat. things
nay go fine and ÈhaE we actually
can increase
our operat.ionality
as from nexÈ lveek on: relatj.ve
to that' on sÈarÈing from the
organigramme the follohring
elemenÈs are imporEanc:
- hre'11 fill
for those r{rho vrere sÈil1 under contract
in the posts with priority
and have direcÈ visa-accessibiliÈy
- for the 'ner,v' functions
we'I1 try bo seek Ehe best person and discriminat.e
positively
to have a fair
represenÈation
on the ground of all
collaborating
(eg. Mari.a instead
sections
of Jan SmeÈ)
- Èhere is still
need furbher
in Èhe
some functions
uhaÈ will
clarification
comlrrg oays-weeKs :
- the info-officer
furction
nor,vthaE Tim will have more supporu in his
coordinaÈion
team and that we have Bas coordinaEinq
informaÈion
at. IJX-L
J,ever.
- need for an e)<patpost in Belgrade,
boÈh for representation
activities
and
-cus uolns
decrease exposion of Bogdan in lgistics
- additional
1og to second ,fohn in case we night
opc for increased
relief
operaÈions
on the field
- Èhe profile
and. art.iculation
of the ùtontenegro
anal Àlbanian
Tea$ wiÈh
Pristina
- the idea of adaliEional
logistics
in case of rehabilitaÈion
activities
- can the original
EPI-post
be completely
cancelLed and absorbed by one of
the nurses
in the Inobile
Èeams or not ?
- would a shift
Èo Mitrovice
have
of the mobile team in Pristina
uerrsequences 1n terms of addit.ional
people to prist.ina
? rre assume that the
waBsan coordo r.vi-Il be based in prisqtina
?
- will
lve be able to count. as much âs before on Èhe collaboration
of loca1
healthsÈaff
?
'
5. Major
operational
(as undersEood
accenLs
from
visits
and. recent
exchanges):
- resume rnobile c1j-nics,
exploiling
more the presence of an oq)aE ,protecting,
the local
staff
through rotaEion
amon, gsts profiles
- possj-bly rogate teams beÈween mobile Èeams to stay sharp
-_lty
plogressively
(if possible)
t" include
EpI-activiÈies
in the mobile
c -Ltnac s
- in agreenent
with oÈher NcO,s define
a plan for disEribution
of relief
items
(beyond mere healthcare)
- devellop
a 'mobile,
watsan programe
on the siEes , in line with Marie-claires
reco[ûnendations
- invesE in ,proÈection,
of reference
cases referred
Co hospitals
in pristina
and Pec (vrith ICRC) .
- invesÈ further
in (medical)
daEa gaEhering and remain alert
t.o medical
ethics
lespect
from serb side
- strike
a deal co increase
our acÈivities
on serb side (hospitals
?)
- eventually
invesÈ in basic rehabiliÈaEion
of villages
if seabiliÈy
allows
(there is probably
...
more, buÈ for lhe moment I have no time
you a decenE report,
noÈes and deliver
Iater...)
II.
The main principles
to
get
clear
amongst
Èhe collaborating
Èo go through
my
sections:
/ HR poseings
I
think
this
B/ steady
I
c/
\
f€e1
is
exchange
like
sharing
this
the
going
basically
is
of
fine
information
also
financial
going
in
al.l
direcÈions
OKr particularty
since
adding
Bas;
risk
(haven'È seen ghe contract)
I fhink
that for Èhe moment a 10È is covered;
but.
probably
we will
face soon more needs: montenegro,
relief,
increased
expat,
(CIDA inÈeresEed !); so v,'e'11.have to
watsan, rehabilitation,
serb hospitals,...
(3x33* ?)
define
how we'Il
deal lriÈh a possible
financial
risk
D/ agreeing
on procedure
for
advocacy
Àt. presenÈ !r'e are taking
inÈo accounÈ 'suggesgions'
from other sectionst
are asking for increased
have to have a more formal
contribulions
we'll
(nnjority
procedure
to work with this
of 3 ?)
À 1ot
of
quesÈions,
so send your
fT
can see thaE this
-his over and over;
if
al.ÈernaÈives would be:
r'-{
lemarks
asap.
and r^re have
scheme is fragile
it would prove unrealisgj-c,
I
not much time
fear ÈhaÈ the
- reÈurn Èo the previous
justified
scheme and face the probable
crit.icism
of not responding
Èo the needs
- opÈ for the classic
presenÈ weak points
ET-scheme, with i!'s
to debate
only 2
inEernal
he best,
vincent
