Monthly report to be submitted to coordination, Assessment of new project sites to be done, MoU is about to expire in two weeks, Internal staff issues to be handled, Weekly staff meeting to be done. Can someone share his/her views of how to organize and prioritize activities???

The first thing to so is look at any issues or fires that need putting out. Often when people go on leave there's some nasty little activity/issues lurking in the shadows that can threaten the project if left unattended. I suppose one sensible thing to do is before the person goes on leave, meet with them to get a proper handover and list of any key issues on the horizon. Failing that, get access to their notes, previous status reports, people they dealt with or reported to, to get insights. This is doing the detective work before other meetings, activity listing, prioritization and delegation occurs.

Know where you are, before you know where you're going!

I would say a very analytical and relaistic approach you shared. Often this happens that coordinators have some dark patches hidden which comes out after their departure... Thank you very much
