Chronology of a project
Success and impact monitoring
In all its projects, Cap Anamur pursues a course of action that focuses in particular on the sustainable impact of all its interventions. Regardless of the situation, structures found in the crisis regions are used and expanded for long-term use. The permanent monitoring of the work processes during the assignments, and the respectful accompaniment of the responsible persons on site far beyond the duration of the project, allow us a permanent evaluation of success.
01. Before project start: evaluation trip
The grounds for humanitarian operations in a disaster area or crisis region can vary widely. The same applies to the needs of people in distress around the world: from acute medical aid to the reconstruction of destroyed buildings, to professional training and education, people’s needs can always be different. As a rule, Cap Anamur therefore first sends a team of experts who:
- evaluate the situation on the ground,
- formulate appropriate objectives for the mission,
- and then develop effective options for action.
Based on these results, we begin our projects focused on the most urgent and meaningful points from the very first minute, with the goal of meeting the various emergencies in the best possible way.
02. Utilization of existing structures
New projects are always carefully implemented into pre-existing conditions. The mere overlaying of regional conditions with a temporary relief action, which is then snatched away from the local people once the project is completed, can thus be ruled out. The mere overlaying of regional conditions with a temporary relief action, which is then snatched away from the local people once the project is completed, can thus be ruled out.
- In this way, we succeed in integrating local craftsmen, doctors and nurses into the project from the very beginning.
- Available buildings and equipment are also made available for work.
- Necessary building materials are purchased from local suppliers and transported in cooperation with local logistics companies.
Thus, together with the affected population, we reconstruct and expand a functioning system that can continue to be used long after the project is completed.
03. Staff training
If local doctors and nurses lack sufficient professional qualifications, our employees conduct intensive staff training.
The range of courses on offer is very broad and is geared to the knowledge gaps of the learners: Starting with instruction in the use of new medical or technical equipment and ending with three years of training leading to a state-certified degree.
In accordance with the principle of “helping people to help themselves,” this enables local staff to make diagnoses and carry out appropriate treatments on their own.
04. Project handover
As soon as the job can be done completely by the local population, we organize the gradual transfer of the projects into local hands.
- Even after the departure of our employees, the projects are not left to themselves, but continue to be accompanied by us.
- This is done by means of regular on-site visits, delivery of medicines and financial support for special expenses that cannot be borne alone, such as the purchase of medical equipment.
- We maintain contact with local decision-makers even years after the project has ended.
This approach has proven to be a successful and sustainably effective method of implementing projects in a controlled manner.
