Debate Field recentralisation

More info soon

Outline of the debate

To improve our medical humanitarian work, our operational models need evolving. The idea of ‘recentralisation’ has been proposed as an interesting model with the potential for less bureaucracy, and more decision-making capacity at field level.
But what does this process entail? How have past operational shifts impacted our current approaches?  Are there current examples for us to learn from? Please join us for this discussion and help shape our future operational model!

 

  • The first speaker will be Meinie Nicolai, who will give us an idea of what recentralisation means and what the vision for OCB looks like. 
  • Eric Goemaere will give a historic and current overview as well as his perspective. 
  • Jean-Francois Saint-Sauveur will share the background to and example of OCBAs initiative in Nairobi.
  • Julia Hill will talk about her experience as a Project Coordinator and the impacts of current decision making processes in the HQ-field on issues such as autonomy, bureaucracy and efficiency.
  • The debate will be moderated by Sohur Mire, OCB Board member
