What is a remote-control project model?
A remote control project, is a project that functions without the presence of an expatriate team at the actual project site. The Country Management Team (the head of mission, the medical coordinator and other management team members) usually have few, if any, possibilities of visiting the actual project site and are often based in a location quite far from the actual project. This type of project model is implemented as a result of the security risks for international aid workers at the project site. The activities of the project are thus carried out exclusively by a team of local doctors, nurses, logisticians and administrators, who coordinate the on-the-ground operations.
