• Sub-group in charge of proposing an organizational set-up:

b. Validate the final option together with the Steering Group
2. Identify the required changes in the global MSF architecture

Sobre a empresa
BACKGROUND:
MSF-LAT and MSF-Brazil are institutional members of MSF movement as sections and associations. MSF CAMEX is in the process of becoming an Institutional Member in 2023. And MSF CAMINO is an innovative institutional / operational model governed by a partnership between OCs, sections and associative representatives.
Together they bring financial and human resources as well as expertise to support MSF projects around the world. Their associations count more than 800 members. And, together fundraising more than € 45 million to the MSF movement with around 750,000 active donors and more than 400 regional professionals from various specialties sent every year to projects around the world. Over time and in particular during the COVID emergency, they have confirmed their capacity to contribute directly to MSF social mission in the region, with innovative approaches like the PAEC (Proyecto de Asesoramiento Estratégico ante el COVID-19 en Latinoamérica) project, direct operational support to more than 25 COVID projects in the continent and doing small-scale emergency responses
MSF footprint in the Americas is also composed of two other major sections, MSF USA and Canada which have played a key role in the development of MSF. In terms of operations, there are regular missions covering Haiti, Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, Panama, Venezuela, Brazil and Colombia, as well as emergency preparedness and response teams, corresponding to five OCs, (OCBA, OCB, OCP, OCG and OCA). This represents around 5% of the global operational portfolio of MSF. Finally, there are three Branch Offices (Uruguay, Colombia and Chile) and MSF offices in the cities of Bogota, Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Montevideo, Ciudad de Mexico and Sao Paulo.
Since a few years, the coordination and collaboration between the different MSF of the region has consolidated. The Brazil Medical Unit (BRAMU) is supporting the operations in various countries, a regional intersectional supply initiative started in 2021 and numerous collaborations in terms of mobility of staff are on-going. Strengthening those collaborations is a strategic priority for the MSFs leading the construction of this new Operational Directorate.
In parallel executive and associative discussions have been happening between the MSFs of the Americas (including MSF USA and MSF Canada) regarding new ways of development for MSF that would better serve our social mission locally and globally. Those conversations have influenced the development of MSF in the region in the past years:
- The launch of the CAMINO initiative in 2018 as a partnership of all the MSFs in the region
- The inclusion of the intention to manage operations in partnership with other MSF in MSF LAT application to become a section in 2020
Similar conversations about the future of MSF also happened at a global level, leading to the “call for change” and then MSF We Want To Be process.
Moreover, there is an increased decentralization of operational management from the OCs in the region, with OCG having localized operational management to Mexico, OCBA moving its LATAM cell in Colombia, and OCB re-centralizing in South America, with focus in Brazil.
As a result, a meeting between key executive and board people from MSF LAT, Brazil, CAMINO/CAMEX was held in April 2022 in which the principles of a proposal to have an OD in the Americas were established. This meeting was followed by a webinar with the associative members on 6th of May 2022 and a formal endorsement of the “declaration of intention to seek the right to run operations” by the association during the joint General Assembly on May 21st 2022 in Rio (MSF Brazil: 62 in favor, 1 abstention, 1 against. MSF LAT: 56 in favor, 12 abstentions, 2 against).
This proposal for a new Operational Directory is a response from MSF Brazil, MSF LAT and CAMEX to the urgent call within the MSF movement for a new and different approach on how to develop our social mission. Its purpose is to serve our beneficiaries (patients) at a global level, and it will be focused on the management of operations and governed by a partnership of the associations of the Americas. It will ensure a greater contextualization of our operations in the region, bringing them closer to patients and communities, involving them in the design and decision-making processes. It will rely on regional and mutualized support units.
MSF USA and Canada are key partners in this initiative and their involvement in regional debates and discussions have strongly influenced its construction. The form this involvement will take in the next steps is under discussion.
