Finally, its over. We have gathered enough courage and decided to be HONEST!!
Ya, the most difficult thing to do is to admit the mistake. We have decided to inform the staff, government, beneficiaries and the public that we did a mistake and going to rectify it.
So we formed several teams- Government liaison, press, beneficiaries communication, staff communication, contractors negotiation, fund raising, donor communication, NGO information and Technical teams.
Each team started working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with stressed faces. We have to face several groups and explain, explain, explain.......
In my department, I had to start terminating all the water and sanitation system contracts, revise the work plans for the staff, with hold awareness campaigns, promotional activities etc., Also, I had to intensify the maintenance work of Barracks, explore setting up new barracks, increase maintenance contracts etc.,
Another two weeks, we will be on our toes (some times fingers too....), planning and living on a daily basis. Just yesterday, I had to call all my project managers for an emergency meeting and cancel a 3 day workshop which is supposed to start from Monday.
