action_plan:

We agree with this recommendation that we should leverage each other to better manage our risks. We will organized quarterly calls between the various country programmes and also plan to dedicate a session on risk management at one meeting of the Operational Management Team. As a basis for the above, we will develop a more consistent framework for risk management across all country programmes.

title:

All three Programmes designed an effective Theory of Change (ToC) and within their log-frame and supporting documents developed appropriate activities, outputs, potential outcomes, and impacts. Also identified were assumptions and risks that may adversely affect Programme delivery along with mitigating strategies. All three Programmes face many similar assumptions and risks yet there is no formalised cross-fertilisation of these between Programmes and – by extension – no exchange of lessons learned or good practice in addressing these issues. The lessons learned and good practice that came from other ILO programmes and projects as well as other BW Programmes approach to COVID-19 provides a proof of concept that gathering and sharing data on a common challenge delivers benefit.  All three BW Programmes to create a centralised repository for assumptions and risks, and the recording of the effectiveness of any mitigating strategies. This will require each CTA to initiate joint discussions to identify the best process and procedure to collect, collate, evaluate, and disseminate information held within this repository. The collation of this risk and assumption information should be structured under suitable, common criteria such as i) Operational, ii) Political, iii) Strategic, iv) Financial, and v) Other. Those risks and assumptions should further be assessed against those that fall within the Programme’s a) ‘sphere of control’, b) ‘sphere of influence’, or c) ‘sphere of concern’. The appropriate mitigating strategies should be recorded and – where a strategy has been implemented – lessons learned and good practice should be identified and disseminated across the other Programmes.
