First because in this transition it is foreseen to have 50 % of the staff "leave", as many will not accept to move in Kenya or Singapore...on a local salary, as it is currently proposed. So I tend to agree with the writers that this is quite an unfortunate move in a time where everybody's strength is needed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-396571161962287942.post-28347850455764116792016-05-23T08:50:57.154-07:002016-05-23T08:50:57.154-07:00This is an interesting topic for you--and I sense ...This is an interesting topic for you--and I sense a lot of emotion that suggest you know the players. That said, my experience of "headquarters" organizations is that they are OFTEN out of touch, not accountable, and not accessible. Well intentioned though the creation of such an office may be, over time they fill with policy wonks and pundits who have little understanding, affiliation or love of the field. It seems a management decision that you may not have enough insight on to draw (or suggest) the conclusion that it is a drawing back from international focus. I suspect an effort to shift the culture to one that is more responsive to the field. <br /><br />If I wanted to know for sure, I'd get a multitude of opinions from within the organization. And then again, as long as they are on mission and using my donations as well as they do, and stepping up in the ways that I consistently seem them do, it's not my business. <br /><br />Hope you are well.
