Just finished a marathon meeting with my Contractors. Presently there are 8 active contracts which are ongoing in several villages. Another few contracts are with community groups.
It started on a funny note explaining that there is no opportunity for us to work in the villages for two more months. And we had to mention that they have not followed some of the clauses, and they are liable for penalty. The contractors also cleverly mentioned that CARE also didn't follow some of the clauses.
Then we had to discuss about the way forward, proposing the issues surrounding termination of their contracts. The contractors wanted CARE to pay all the contract value because they have already invested in material and manpower.
After several rounds of negotiations, we have finally come to a conclusion that all the work which was done till now will be paid by CARE. We were happy at the conclusion of the meeting.
Now another negotiation with Community Groups is on the way....... fingers crossed!!
