Elections and Political Turnover Sample Clauses

Elections and Political Turnover. Issue: Currently, Bangladesh is preparing for national elections. Political tensions are high, especially as the current government is accused of unfairly manipulating pre-election/election procedures. Opposition parties are staging numerous local and nationwide strikes (hartals). The interim government that takes over for the several months before the elections and the incoming government may result in significant changes in government officials TWICE in a short period of time. Impact/Actions to Overcome: Due to the hartals Concern offices have had to close during some weekdays. This has not had as much impact on MHPP operations as the staff makes up days on Saturdays. However, the heightened political tensions make this a challenging time for MHPP staff, who MUST not be seen as partial to any parties. As such the staff is maintaining maximum vigilance in their words and actions during this time. To limit the impact of changing government officials, the MHPP team is focusing on strengthening relationships with government officials whose positions tend to be less transitory.
