Write with your replacement in mind as your reader

French translation: écrivez en pensant à la personne qui devra vous remplacer

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase:Write with your replacement in mind as your reader
French translation:écrivez en pensant à la personne qui devra vous remplacer

Social Sciences - International Org/Dev/Coop / NGO, mobilizer guidelines
English term or phrase: Write with your replacement in mind as your reader
I think the meaning is : Quand vous écrivez, gardez à l'esprit des exemples de correction.

But the sentence is weird to me... The context is a document to support mobilizers (GNO staff), and the paragraph deals with the fact that they should write daily records about their work.

Many thanks in advance

Explanation:
Nous parlons du remplacant; si on parle d'un document qui enregistre les experiences, evenements, conclusions ... de cette personne dans son travail, l'idee est de transmettre cette experience le plus clairement possible. Si cela est le cas, alors, pas besoin de faire complique.
