SOUMTANG BIME Valentine, Cameroon, DES-P, your feedback underscores a significant paradox confronting many international organizations: how to remain efficient while investing heavily in the development and well-being of people. To strike the right balance between operational efficiency and investment in employee well-being, flexible work modalities (e.g., remote work and flexible hours) should be developed based on 'work outcomes' rather than inflexible presence requirements. This flexibility helps them to achieve a better work-life balance, decreases stress, and increases motivation. On the other hand, it's crucial that mental health and wellness support avenues, such as counseling sessions or stress-relieving workshops, are made available and workload managed to achieve this. When you build a culture where kindness and support are appreciated, teams themselves become more resilient and can deliver sustainable performance. Combining agile work modes with a strong well-being policy therefore also boosts engagement, creativity, and team effectiveness, while satisfying employees' legitimate expectations of quality of work life.

I agree with your observation and everyone else's. While we focus on the macro level analyses, my input would be to suggest at also looking at the micro level analyses - to improve mitigation. By doing this, this shoulders the problem of corruption in Africa- where regardless of climate finance that could be made available, the vulnerable rarely benefit from this (ofcourse while bearing the burden of debt repayment arising from climate finance). In my research, i focus on the micro-level, local factors - factors within the reach of the person living under $1.90 a day- that could mitigate the impact of climate shocks toward household level welfare. for example, interested in looking at how incidence and intensity of social networks (relationships within a community) in a rural economy would cushion the impacts of climate shocks on Migration (whether Migration is or is not a problem, is a different issue, for now :) )
