MI 5.4 Analysis
Source document
UNRWA identifies four kinds of risk facing the agency: institutional (including reputational),
programmatic, occupational and contextual (including political) and there is clarity on how each of
these are managed and who is responsible.
Risk assessments are undertaken as part of UNRWA’s annual planning cycle and updated every quarter.
Risk management and mitigation and where necessary, contingency planning informs Operational
1, 8, 10, 16, 18, 19, 23,
Plans but there are not specific mitigation strategies for operational risk. UNRWA’s MTS has a matrix
24, 28, 31, 35, 36, 37,
of risk associated with each of its strategic outcomes. Corporate documentation outlines how risks
52, 61, 142
are reported on and relevant risks are also outlined in Field Office Strategic Plans. Financial risk has
received a greater emphasis in the organisations planning and assessments recently in light of the
organisation’s funding constraints, with a high-level of scrutiny from HQ on Field Office expenditure
and cash flow.
