In this module, you will complete a three-part Assignment that is submitted over the course of 3 weeks. This week, you will complete and submit Part 1. You will complete and submit Part 2 in Week 10 and Part 3 in Week 11.
For this Assignment, you are a member of the executive team for a global nonprofit aimed at improving health and reducing child mortality rates in the developing world. Funding for the organization comes primarily from private donors (mainly in the U.S. and Canada) and through foundation grants. You have just learned that a shipment of straw-type personal water filters provided (but not manufactured by) your organization have been found to be defective. These filters are widely distributed by your organization in areas with contaminated water supplies and have proven highly effective at reducing instances of water-borne infections caused by bacteria and parasites. However, reports are coming in of increased illness rates from contaminated water in the areas where this shipment was distributed.
You have been asked, as a member of a quickly convened crisis response team, to outline a crisis communication response plan for the organization with an accompanying rationale (with appropriate academic and professional resources to support your report) that will be reviewed by the CEO, Mary Stevenson. Your communications report should be 7–10 pages in total (3–4 pages for Part 1, 2–3 pages for Part 2 and 2-3 pages for Part 3), not including title page, references page, and appendix (with your completed Stakeholder Worksheet).
