Description
The project reacts to the transformation of our organization that is related to the creation of the first specialized Center for victims of sexual violence in the Czech republic. The creation of the Center implies major operational, personal, and financial changes. Currently, a number of operational documents are not available, since they were not needed before due to the type of organization and services. Although there will be a need to strengthen staff capacity and introduce shift working, there are not yet adequate processes in place to build and share the culture and values of the organization. There has been a longstanding lack of effectiveness in collecting and evaluating data based on direct work with victims, which will be all the more necessary for the transformation of the organization. Demands for funding to cover operations will increase, while not all existing resources will remain relevant. Failure to address this situation will increase the risk of unclear processes, staff frustration, fluctuation, lack of funding, and therefore the need to cut services, which may negatively impact the effectiveness of the organization''s functioning, hence the quality of services. That is the reason why in this project we will focus on harmonizing the culture of our organization, revising the data collecting system, internal processes, and financial mechanisms, in a way that will respond to the Center’s needs. Some of the outputs of the project will be: new ethical codex, an updated system for data collection and created methodology for it, or new internal documents such as working rules. That will facilitate an effective and sustainable way of running our organization and providing our services, which will be beneficial to our workers and therefore to the target group.
