A Disaster Logical Framework

We finally finished the logical framework yesterday for the emergency response. We were a bit dissapointed that the crisis team had decided to call the emergency phase of the operation over in yesterdays meeting as well. The logical framework will be useful however to present to the institutional donors that supported us and we can back monitor against the framework which is common in emergency responses. So all in all the work we put into the framework with the emergency team is not wasted and we definitely enhance our internal and external reporting.

The Asia Unit is now gearing up to take over the operation once the Crisis Unit hands over responsibility in the coming weeks. The Crisis Team has played such a vital role in directing the operation but it is now time to start building for a long term program which is best handled by the Asia Unit in this instance. Will give you the heads up on new developments in the next day or two.

Myanmar Cyclone Problem Tree

We had some fantastic session with the Emergency Team on Monday Tuesday and Wednesday last week. We finished off the problem tree for the Myanmar Cyclone response on Friday and are now rapidly finishing off the logical framework. It is so great to have a diverse range of views to nut out this tricky response. The crisis team were really happy with our summarised tree(below). I have copied the problem tree below to give readers an insight into the thought processes of an organisations emergency response. It certainly gets the adrenaline running working under time pressure and to save lives and reduce suffereing. Talk to you all again soon.
