Considering what they've been through, CARE's Angolan staff and the people with whom we work continue to do what they can to build a better future. A. Keeping employees safe, finding qualified Angolan staff and continuing to assist the people in greatest need are our critical concerns. Staff security is paramount and, thus, we are constantly reviewing and testing our communication systems. Everyone on the staff carries handheld radios. There is a radio check every night.
All residences have guards, and our houses and offices are wired for security.
With assistance from the U.S. Embassy, we conducted a personal-protection training. And, our demining staff regularly train field staff and come into Luanda to raise our consciousness about checking for car bombs. Running projects in Angola requires more planning and constant contact with donors and security officers in the provinces and embassies. Overall, we need to be flexible and creative and find the opportunities where they exist. Describe an IDP camp.
