Joint risk management

VENRO

17, 19 and 24 April as well as 4 May 2023, online

 

Humanitarian organisations operate in volatile contexts and are exposed to diverse risks. A robust risk management mechanism can minimise their impact.

Humanitarian organisations work in volatile contexts and are often exposed to diverse risks (e.g. safety & security, operational, fiduciary, reputational). They have to introduce robust risk management mechanisms to be able to minimise the impacts of those risks to their organisations and staff.

 

Contents

The focus of this training will be on risks related to safety and security as well as how to implement and maintain a risk management system together with partner organisations. Participants will learn which steps are part of a comprehensive risk management on the basis of the Security Circle:

  • Context analysis
  • Risk assessment (incl. identification of risks, analysis of likelihood and impact)
  • Risk reduction strategies
  • Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
  • Contingency planning
  • Incident reporting and analysis

 

Target group

The training is tailored at staff of German and local humanitarian NGOs that are responsible for proposal writing, the implementation of humanitarian projects and/or security-related topics in their organisation without prior knowledge on risk management. In the registration form it is possible to make two registrations with one booking. We kindly ask German NGO colleagues to forward this invitation to their local partner organisations and to coordinate on a joint registration if they wish to work on a common case.
