After the war, Maria NGO had another program to develop war-torn town and makes several social activity to rebuild community life in the post-war

Condition after war


A major source of employment in the town, a furniture

factory, was completely destroyed during the war. People become poverty and unemployment. Afraid to face condition in the future, The feeling of Helplessness. Reconciliation of the refugees.

Problems
Acceptance of ethnic minority (the refugee)

returning to their homes Local politicians have done everything in their power to prevent ethnic minorities from returning to he town Refusal from the mayor about reconciliation for allowing the ethnic minority refugees

What Is Wrong and What Should Be Done?

Eve Annecke
Maria needs to rapidly meet with other stakeholders, organizations, and more moderate politicians, keeping the project of rebuilding the factory foremost in peoples minds No quick fix to her previously simplistic, rational, deal-making approach and that she needs his help to strategically attempt to slowly and painfully reintegrate the town through the rebuilding of the factory The point is for Maria to fine-tune her focus on the process and to trust this process. Through dialogue, creating space for peoples stories, and keeping focused on the possibility of rebuilding their town as a beacon of hope in war-torn times

The main point divide in two-track strategy : Economic Assistance and Conflict Resolution

Phil Morgan

The NGO needs to be sure that the furniture factory represents a robust and enduring economic entity That option will also require strategic assessment and should be linked with the region beyond the town itself (Marked Based) Another source like Bank dedicated to very small loans to support both sure-thing and more entrepreneurial ventures (Micro Financing Institution)

The NGO will need to foster a broadcommunity consultative process relating to (Conflict Management)
What Is Wrong and What Should Be Done?

Lyuba Palyvoda Marias NGO lacks a clear strategy


Communication between Marias group and the local politicians and governmental officials was woefully inadequate
STRATEGY

Maria and her organization to conduct organizational strategic planning

Work directly with the community


Marias NGO needs to establish a new priority list

Community support and ownership of the new organizational priorities are developed

Compromises

The three advisors have a good suggestion

but probably to mix their comments will be good solution. Several idea necessary to considering for solved the reconciliation and economic assistance. The keyword from advisors is Consensus. And Maria NGO must doing step by step and doing difference approach after they failed ensure the mayor

Solution
Maria NGO should take reconciliation,

communication with the community, another stakeholder, local politicians and apologize about her mistake to the mayor.
