description:
The present division of roles and functions between CO-Algiers and CO-Cairo is, at first sight, difficult to imagine in practice. The segregation of political representations (assumed in Algiers), and technical and administrative responsibility (assumed in Cairo) has created a false dichotomy that has posed further constraints to complementary subregional operations. While timely organizational decisions were needed to address programmatic and operational opportunities and challenges engendered by the uprisings, a more inclusive process could have helped avoid miscommunications and uncertainties, and the subsequent deterioration of organizational effectiveness and image coherence as regards the development partners. The lesson learned is that, when this type of decision is made at HQ and RO levels, all affected organizational units should be sufficiently informed, involved in the rationale and assigned clear roles and responsibilities.
