Recommendations

Disclaimer: Open/Closed recommendations are updated semiannually.

We recommend that the country director and the director of programming and training implement a process that improves documentation, coordination, and communication among staff involved in site development and the housing approval process to mitigate the risk of placing Volunteers in non-compliant housing.

We recommend that the country director clarify the roles, expectations and responsibilities of staff and Volunteers in addressing housing deficiencies that occur after site installation, including deficiencies that currently exist.

We recommend that the director of programming and training improve the post's management of site history files so that files are complete, staff members know what documents belong in the site history files, and site history files are consulted during the site development and approval process.

We recommend that the director of programming and training and the training manager utilize qualified staff, including the TEFL program manager and the programming and training assistants, to deliver technical training, and rely less on Volunteer assistant trainers.

We recommend that the director of programming and training align technical training for the health project with the goals and objectives of the new health project framework.
