Risk Analysis for Operations: Published on 15 Feb 2007

I was revising the Risk Analysis matrix for our Aceh Oprations today. We had a new government taking over the governance of the Province. And I have started listening to their speeches in yesterdays seminar, which made me to add few risks and start devising strategies to mitigate the same.Some of the new risks are:

- There might be massive re-organizing of government/ BRR departments, and new officials might be posted in senior positions, who do not have background information of NGO activities. This might affect projects which are in partnership/ collaboration with other government departments. NGOs need to build up relations again from scratch.
- There are plans to split/ merge existing Kabupathan and Kechmatans all over Aceh. This might affect our structural orientation which is currently along the cluster of villages.
- Internal conflicts between government agencies (especially between BRR and provincial government). This will delay in policy matters- like Barracks decommissioning policy etc.,
- Pressure from provincial government to extend work beyond Tsunami areas, preferring NGOs who support their Provincial Infrastructure development, sidelining NGOs who stick on to the Tsunami Response etc.,
