1. Operation Management
Quick response in a chaotic reality

The second principle was investing in building interpersonal relationships and establishing trust with all our partners: the heads of local authorities and local authority officials, government ministry representatives, social organization representatives, funding partners, strategic partners, as well as between Operation team members. At the end of the day, people are the core, and building trust and unity towards the objective was the foundation for the Operation’s success.”
