22nd ALNAP Meeting (December 2007)
A rapidly changing environment demands organisational flexibility both in the field offices and in the headquarters to fully meet the requirements of a complex situation. • Organisations need to have systems that enable them to quickly recruit qualified staff either from internal or external sources. • Quick decisions on matters related to allocation of resources, procurement, new programming, reporting requirements, and coordination mechanisms are paramount. • Speed without sacrificing accountability needs to be designed into the system. Rigid adherence to strict systems and procedures, rules and regulation is inimical to quick response to compounding crises.
