What is a remote-control project model?
A remote control project, is a project that functions without the presence of international staff at the actual project site.
The Country Management Team (head of mission, medical coordinator and other management team members) usually have few, if any, possibilities of visiting the actual project site and are often based quite away.
This type of project model is used when there are high security risks for international aid workers at the project-site. Project work is carried out exclusively by a team of local doctors, nurses, logisticians and administrators, who coordinate the on-the-ground operations.
