About this file

This document is an attachment titled "Risk Analysis" that provides guidance on conducting a risk analysis as part of a grant application. The purpose is to identify internal and external risks associated with the proposed project, rate the likelihood and potential impact of the risks, and outline actions to mitigate the risks. The risk analysis should cover risks affecting the project objectives, outcomes/outputs, the organization, and the safety/security of personnel. Applicants are advised to conduct ongoing risk analysis and remediation throughout the project life cycle.

The document is related to a federal grant opportunity from the Department of State U.S. Embassy in Yaounde, Cameroon under the Africa Regional Democracy Fund (CFDA 19.225). The grant opportunity seeks proposals that either advance human rights and fundamental freedoms or provide assistance for citizens to select and replace their leaders through inclusive and fair elections.

Attachment 4: Risk Analysis

The purpose of the risk analysis is to identify the internal and external risks associated with the proposed project in the application, rate the likelihood of the risks, rate the potential impact of the risks on the project, and identify actions that could help mitigate the risks. The risk analysis should include gender-related risks, including, but not limited to, gender-based violence.

A risk analysis should not be considered a one-time exercise or a static document. Organizations should conduct adequate risk analysis and remediation for all its operations and advises that risk analysis and remediation occur throughout the life of a project and should result in revisions to risk analysis documents and processes as necessary.

A suggested format for a risk analysis document is below. Applicants should include all assumptions and external factors identified in the logic model in the risk analysis. Under “Description of Risk,” the risk analysis should address any risk of fraud and corruption, as well as assess the level of risk that the proposed program may inadvertently benefit terrorists or their supporters. Under “Likelihood of Risk” and “Potential Impact of Risk,” applicants should rate the as “High,” “Medium,” or “Low.” Additional lines can be included in the risk analysis table as necessary.

The safety and security of recipients and beneficiaries are of utmost importance. The Embassy requires all recipients to conduct thorough risk assessments and take all actions necessary in accordance with those assessments to mitigate those risks. The Embassy will not take responsibility for the risks incurred by any recipient.
