NGO FINANCIAL TRAINING PROGRAMMES

The Dynamics of Project Risk Management for NGOs

Dates & Location: This workshop is available on request.

Programme Details

A 2-Day Workshop geared to empower project management with the risk management skills necessary for effective operational management and strategic planning in order to deliver successful projects which meet stakeholder needs.

Benefits to Your Organisation

Development NGOs are operating in more challenging environments than ever before. In order to achieve strategic plans and desired goals, the impact on project outcomes resulting from conflict, food shortages, power outages, pandemics, natural disasters, inflation, skill deficits, and misconduct etc must now be factored into the organisational equation. It is essential that quality, accountability and risk awareness issues are mainstreamed into NGO work. Not only will this reduce potential risks to the organization, but it will also provide an opportunity to increase project impact, learn from past mistakes, and model improved practices in the wider sector.

Desired Workshop Outcomes

At the conclusion of this workshop, participants should have acquired a working knowledge of how to:

• Identify and manage project risk effectively
• Construct a risk register to prioritise specific risks in their project
• Differentiate between acceptable and unacceptable risks
• Understand the psychology of decision making in a crisis
• Create value for stakeholders through contingency response planning

Programme Outline

• The value of an effective diagnostic pre-planning strategy
• Ranking risks by their likely probability and impact potential
• Risk response planning, and developing mitigation strategies
• The psychology of decision making in a crisis
• Communicating project risks to stakeholders

Learning Features

All participants will receive a Training Needs Analysis questionnaire form for their completion. The workshop methodology is to combine the use of interactive facilitation supported by participatory learning through case studies, creative thinking exercises, group exercises and presentations by the participants.
