MANAGING RISK: Accepting risk is a choice

Any economic actor faces risks, and for actors operating in the rural economy, the risks are often significant. ACCESS’s risk management program works with its partners to enhance the risk management culture within an organization.

The workshop begins with an understanding of fundamental concepts and the risks an organization face, such as strategic, operational, market and liquidity risks. Risks are prioritized and then appropriate strategies for managing them are developed. Strategies and related tactics are set within a broader risk management framework that includes measurement and monitoring processes. The workshop concludes with the development of an implementation plan and strategies for dealing with potential obstacles.

INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO SUCCESS

Any economic actor encounters risk, and they have more choice than they think when it comes to determining how much risk they take and how they manage it.

Key to understanding this is the prioritization of risks, which facilitates the development of appropriate risk management strategies.
