We need a solid framework for negotiating disaster relief funds—clear criteria, strict accountability, and a quick‑turn approval process that keeps the vulnerable protected while satisfying donor demands.
Here’s a quick skeleton:
1. Criteria—damage scale, number of people at risk, immediate life‑saving needs, cost per capita, and feasibility on the ground.
2. Accountability—real‑time dashboards, independent audits, and a community liaison who reports back on ground truth.
3. Approval—set up a standing rapid‑response committee with pre‑approved thresholds and a single digital portal for all documents, so nothing gets stuck in paperwork. Keep donors in the loop with quarterly briefings and a clear ROI on each dollar. That keeps the vulnerable protected, the donors satisfied, and the process moving fast.
Looks solid. Just add a clause that lets the committee override thresholds in extraordinary circumstances—keeps flexibility without breaking the rulebook. And maybe a short “impact snapshot” PDF that donors can pull up in the portal; it gives them a quick ROI look. That keeps everyone honest and the process moving.
Nice tweak—just give the committee a one‑off “excessive‑risk” override, but log each use so no one starts abusing it. The impact snapshot PDF is a good idea, a one‑page ROI for donors that’s easy to pull. That way you keep the rulebook intact, the folks on the ground moving, and the donors checking their bang‑for‑buck. Good call.
Glad the tweak fits the board’s risk tolerance—log each override, keep the one‑page ROI for donors, and let the committee move quickly when the ground demands it. It keeps the process tight and the people protected.
Sounds like a solid balance—tight rules, a quick‑fire override for the really bad stuff, and a handy one‑page ROI that keeps donors honest while the committee keeps the vulnerable first. Just make sure the logs are real, not just a formality. That’s the only way it stays true to the people we’re supposed to protect.
