Management experience in times of pandemic

Monitoring team Fe y Alegría Venezuela

Abstract

Managing within an organization as complex as Fe y Alegría is a big  challenge, even more when this management takes place in times of humanitarian emergency and educational crisis. Keeping the fulfillment of the mission as a priority and bringing together the four programs that make life in the movement requires a different organization, so that the answer to reality is different and appropriate to the context. The monitoring team assumes the leadership of this management with its own organization and defines its process of accompaniment and follow-up to the actions that are developed in the framework of the pandemic. Permanent reflection of the context, the search for alternatives and answers, training, planning and evaluation are also permanent elements in a management whose principle is: "Doing good and doing well". For this, it favors participation, dialogue and consensus among all actors. It is a much richer experience than can be gathered in the minutes of the meetings and in the documents produced.
